REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR. 



HON. J. C. W. BECKHAM, 

Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky ', 
Frankfort, Kentucky. 

Sir: 

The Commission appointed by you, pursuant to the pro- 
visions of an Act of the General Assembly of Kentucky approved 
January 27, 1904, entitled "An act to provide for the collection 
and exhibition of the resources of the Commonwealth of Ken- 
tucky at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St. Louis, Mis- 
souri, and making an appropriation therefor," met on February 4, 
1904, for organization, at which time the following took the oath 
of office and executed bond as Commissioners, as required by 
said Act: Arthur Y. Ford, Louisville; Charles C. Spalding, 
Lebanon; William H. Newman, Louisville; William H. Cox, 
Maysville; Sam P. Jones, Louisville; Clarence Dallam, Louis- 
ville; William T. Ellis, Owensboro; Charles E. Hoge, Frank- 
fort; Joshua B. Bowles, Bardstown; Asher G. Caruth, Louis- 
ville; Samuel Grabfelder, Louisville; William J. Worthington, 
Greenup; Garrett S. Wall, Maysville; Malcolm H. Crump, Bow- 
ling Green, and Bayless L. D. Guffy, Morgantown. Subse- 
quently, upon the resignation of Mr. Worthington, Mr. Frank 
M. Fisher, of Paducah, duly qualified as a member of the Com- 
mission. 

At the meeting on February 4 the Board was duly organ- 
ized by electing Arthur Y. Ford, President ; Charles C. Spalding, 
Vice-President; Robert E. Hughes, Secretary and Director of 
Exhibits, and by creating an Executive Committee composed 
of A. Y. Ford, W. H. Newman, Sam P. Jones, W. H. Cox and 
W. T. Ellis. 

At this meeting, as required by the Act creating the Board, 
a full report was made by the Kentucky Exhibit Association of 
the funds collected by it, of the work done up to that time in 
preparation for an exhibit and building at the St. Louis 
World's Fair and a transfer made of all property and funds of 
the Kentucky Exhibit Association. At this meeting authority 



was given to the President and Executive Committee to appoint 
Superintendents to supervise the work of gathering, installing 
and caring for exhibits in all departments. Pursuant to this 
authority the following Superintendents were appointed: Min- 
erals, C. J. Norwood, Lexington ; Forestry, A. N. Struck, Louis- 
ville; Tobacco, C. D. Campbell, Louisville; Education, E. H. 
Mark, Louisville ; Agriculture, I. B. Nail, Louisville ; Fine Arts, 
Marvin Eddy, Louisville; Horticulture, M. F. Johnson, Fern 
Creek; Woman's Work and Relics, Mrs. W. B. Carothers, 
Bardstown. Subsequently, upon the resignation of Mr. Nail, 
Prof. J. N. Harper, of Lexington, was made Superintendent of 
the Agricultural Exhibit. At a subsequent meeting, the Com- 
mission elected Mrs. Bertha Miller Smith, of Richmond, as the 
Hostess of the Kentucky Building, in which capacity Mrs. Smith 
added materially to the popularity of the building, performing 
successfully the very difficult and exacting duties of the position. 

The public spirit which, from the first, characterized the 
effort to give Kentucky creditable representation at the Louisi- 
ana Purchase Exposition was well illustrated in the unselfish 
labors of these Superintendents. Messrs. Norwood, Struck, 
Campbell, Mark, Eddy and Harper gave their services, involving 
a great deal of time and much personal expense, without com- 
pensation of any kind further than the satisfaction of doing a 
worthy public work. 

In addition to these, the transportation matters of the Com- 
mission, involving the handling of a great deal of freight traf- 
fic to St. Louis and return, was looked after by Mr. John J. 
Telford, of Louisville, who had been Superintendent of Trans- 
portation for the Kentucky Exhibit Association, and con- 
tinued in that position for the State Commission, and who, like 
the other gentlemen named, gave services of the greatest value 
without compensation. Too much praise cannot be given these 
gentlemen for their unselfish labors. 

The duties of Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Carothers, while in 
the service of the Commission, required their full time, and 
they were accordingly compensated, though at a rate that would 
have offered little inducement to them but for their interest in 
a public undertaking. 

Appended to this report you will find a complete statement 
of the work done, the displays made, the amounts expended and 
the awards secured in each exhibit department, together with an 
account of the attractive calendar of events at the Kentucky 
Building and all other information necessary to forming a just 



BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

idea of the extent of the Kentucky display at the exposition and 
of its value as an advertisement of the progress and the resources 
of the State. Appended also is a brief statement of the organi- 
zation of the Kentucky Exhibit Association, which organization, 
upon the failure of the General Assembly at its session of 1902 
to make an appropriation for this work, had taken up the task 
of raising a preliminary fund and of enlisting public opinion in 
support of an appropriation to be asked for at the next session 
of the Legislature to complete its work. 

The Kentucky Exhibit Association was organized May 28, 
1902, and incorporated November 5, 1902, with the following 
gentlemen as Directors : A. Y. Ford, Louisville ; J. C. W. 
Beckham, Frankfort; James H. Parrish, Owensboro; A. Smith 
Bowman, Lexington ; Ed Woolfolk, Paducah ; Clarence Dallam, 
Louisville; William H. Newman, Louisville; David B. G. Rose, 
Louisville; Marion E. Taylor, Louisville; Charles B. Norton, 
Louisville ; Samuel Grabfelder, Louisville ; Sam P. Jones, Louis- 
ville; Charles P. Weaver, Louisville; Samuel S. Savage, Ash- 
land, and E. J. Hickey, Covington. The Directors selected 
A. Y. Ford as President; Marion E. Taylor, Vice-President; 
R. E. Hughes, Secretary, and Logan C. Murray, Treasurer. 
Within a few months Mr. Hickey died and was succeeded on 
the Board by Mr. John C. Droege, of Covington. Judge Savage 
was a most active member of the organization until in August 
of 1903, when he was cut down by sickness, which within a brief 
period terminated fatally. At the next meeting of the Board 
Mr. Charles C. Spalding, of Lebanon, was chosen to fill the 
vacancy. 

It was the avowed purpose of this Association to secure 
from all sources the sum of $100,000, to be expended in erecting 
a Kentucky Building and making a display of Kentucky's re- 
sources at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The Association 
realized that an appropriation made by the General Assembly at 
its session in 1904 could not be utilized to advantage unless a 
vast amount of preliminary work had been done. Its plan, 
therefore, was to raise a sufficient sum to begin the construction 
of a State building and the collection of material for exhibits. 
It was necessary that the building should be erected during the 
summer of 1903, in order to avoid the excessive cost of hurried 
construction. It was necessary also to be in a position to secure 
allotments of space in the various exhibit buildings and to make 
considerable progress in collecting exhibit material. To this 
end the Association created a Finance Committee, composed 



of A. Y. Ford, Louisville, Chairman ; Samuel Grabfelder, Louis- 
ville; T. L. Jefferson, Louisville; E. H. Ferguson, Louisville; 
Charles B. Norton, Louisville; Clarence Dallam, Louisville; 
Marion E. Taylor, Louisville; Logan C. Murray, Louisville; 
John L. Dunlap, Louisville; R. W. Brown, Louisville; J. D. 
Powers, Louisville; H. C. Rodes, Louisville; S. H. Stone, Louis- 
ville; R. M. Kelly, Jr., Louisville; John B. Castleman, Louis- 
ville; J. H. Parrish, Owensboro; George C. Thompson, Padu- 
cah; H. C. Trigg, Glasgow; A. Smith Bowman, Lexington; 
J. E. Rankin, Henderson; R. C. Ford, Middlesboro; A. N. 
Struck, Louisville ; J. S. Escott, Louisville ; Frank Fehr, Louis- 
ville; W. D. McElhinny, Central City; C. C. Early, Louisville; 
H. A. Schroetter, Covington. Various sub-committees were 
formed for the purpose of soliciting contributions from different 
classes of business. Some contributions were made also of 
material. From all sources the Kentucky Exhibit Association 
collected $31,441.94. It vigorously prosecuted the work of 
preparation for its exhibits through special committees ap- 
pointed for that purpose. It secured a good site for a State 
building and was able in July, 1903, to let a contract for con- 
struction. The spirit of the Association was at this juncture 
exemplified by its members pledging themselves to complete 
the payments for this building, a sufficient sum not having at 
that time been collected to pay for both building and exhibits, 
though the Association had raised a sufficient sum to defray 
the entire cost of the building had it been possible to devote 
the entire amount to that purpose. 

An early impetus was given the movement by the formal 
indorsement of the Kentucky Bankers' Association, in its an- 
nual meeting at Paducah — an indorsement that was followed by 
liberal contributions from the banks and bankers of the State, 
made through a special committee of bankers. The coal oper- 
ators of the State also gave their support in an organized way, 
and some of the largest contributions were from coal companies 
The substantial support of the bankers and the coal operators 
at once secured consideration and support from other classes 
of business. Good contributions were made by the brewers, the 
distillers, the lumber interests and others. Several Fiscal Courts 
made liberal appropriations, as did one City Council — that of 
Mt. Sterling. Manufacturing corporations also gave generous 
support, while the honor roll includes many firms and individuals 
representing every branch of business. 

The financial statement of the Kentucky Exhibit Associa- 

6 



tion is included in this report, although not legally required to 
be made a part of it. It is added because it seemed desirable 
to show in one place the entire cost, paid from all sources, of 
the State's representation at St. Louis. An effort has been 
made to mark clearly the distinction between those items paid 
by the Kentucky Exhibit Association — such as the expense of 
publicity work and soliciting contributions, etc. — and those 
items paid out of the State appropriation. Attached to this 
report will be found a list of the contributors to the fund of the 
Kentucky Exhibit Association. It is deemed by the Commission 
that this information has a proper place in this report, since with- 
out these contributions no exhibit at St. Louis would have been 
possible. 

The Association also prosecuted a vigorous educational 
campaign throughout the State for the purpose of arousing the 
interest of the people of the State in its undertaking. In this 
it had the unanimous co-operation of the press of the State, to 
whose public spirit the purposes of the Association strongly 
appealed. No member of the Association drew any compensa- 
tion except those who gave their entire time as members of its 
office force. As a result of its labors, when the General Assem- 
bly of 1904 met, representatives of the Association were able to 
point to a State building practically completed, to liberal allot- 
ments of space in every exhibit building, to complete plans for 
exhibit installation and to considerable exhibit material that had 
been gathered from various parts of the State and stored free 
of cost in the Haldeman Warehouse, at Louisville. 

The General Assembly was sufficiently impressed by the 
work that had been done and by the popular demand for its 
completion to make an appropriation of $75,000 to carry the 
undertaking to a successful finish. Of the $31,441.94 raised by 
the Kentucky Exhibit Association, it had expended prior to the 
organization of the State Commission the sum of $25,426.74 and 
turned over to the State Commission $6,015.20, besides all prop- 
erty that had been accumulated by the Exhibit Association up 
to that time, including a State building nearly finished and the 
material for the various exhibits. 

The Commission continued the work of the Association as 
to building and exhibits without change in plan or in the per- 
sonnel of those in charge. The same officers and superintend- 
ents were continued. 

The total amount of funds that came into the hands of the 
Kentucky Exhibit Association and the State Commission was 



$112,362.16, of which $31,441.94 was collected by the Kentucky 
Exhibit Association, $75,000 was appropriated by the State and 
$5,920.22 realized from various refunds and from the sale of 
building furniture and other articles of salvage at the close of 
the Exposition. 

At the conclusion of its work the Commission turned into 
the State treasury, as required by the act creating it, the un- 
expended balance of the State appropriation, amounting to 
$2,832.02. It also placed in the custody of the State Geological 
Bureau, the State Experiment Station, the Kentucky Institution 
for the Education of the Blind, the Kentucky School for the 
Deaf and the Governor's Mansion property of the total cost 
of $7,955.85. This property, consisting in part of exhibits and 
in part of many specially constructed cases, may be of value to 
the State in many ways, and will be of special value if there 
should arise any future occasion on which the State should desire 
to make a display at another exposition. The Commission was 
in many ways impressed with the value of such a nucleus, having 
found in the progress of its work at St. Louis that many States 
with a small appropriation were enabled to achieve excellent 
results by reason of having such material held over from former 
expositions. 

The Commissioners appointed by you were, under the pro- 
visions of the Act, required to give their time without compen- 
sation other than the payment of their actual necessary ex- 
penses during such time as they were absent from home upon 
service of the Commission. This expense was not to exceed 
$250 for each Commissioner, making a possible expense on this 
account of $3,750. The amount actually expended for the ex- 
penses of Commissioners was $2,568.80. The fact that there 
were fifteen Commissioners made it possible to divide the time 
of service so that each Commissioner should be in actual charge 
at St. Louis for two weeks. A room was fitted up in the Ken- 
tucky building for occupancy by the Commissioner in charge, 
and this materially reduced the expense of the Commissioners. 
It is not likely that any other State represented at St. Louis 
paid out so small a sum for the services of its Commissioners. 

Similar economy was observed in all other departments. 
Those Superintendents who labored without compensation for 
the collection and installation of their exhibits were given the 
aid of Assistant Superintendents who were to remain for the 
entire period of the exposition in charge of the various exhibits. 
The salaries of these Assistant Superintendents were fixed at a 

8 



reasonable compensation, so that the entire salary roll of the 
Commission was held within a reasonable total. In the case of 
the Educational Exhibit the plan was adopted as far as practi- 
cable of dividing the time between various persons interested in 
educational work in the State so that they might profit by 
spending some weeks at the exposition in charge of the Educa- 
tional Exhibit, with opportunity also to study the educational 
exhibits of other States. 

The largest single item of expense of the Commission was 
in the erection, furnishing and maintenance of a State building. 
The entire cost of construction of the building, paid in part by 
the Kentucky Exhibit Association and in part by the State 
Commission, was $33,690.23. The cost of grading and land- 
scaping around the building and caring for the lawn was 
$2,055.63, the cost of furnishing $6,580.85, of maintenance of 
the building $6,439.51, packing and returning $272.15, and inci- 
dental items, $941.88, making a total of $49,980.25. This cost 
should be credited with $2,719.20 realized from sale of build- 
ing and contents and refunds and returned property, leaving 
a net cost of $47,261.05. 

Besides a State building, Kentucky collected, installed and 
maintained, exclusive of live stock, fifteen different exhibits : 

A collective display of minerals, a separate display of coal, 
a separate display of clays, in the Mines and Metallurgy Build- 
ing. 

A collective display from the schools and colleges of the 
State and two separate displays in the Blind Section, in the 
Palace of Education and Social Economy. 

Two collective displays — one exterior, the other interior — 
of forestry in the department devoted to Forestry, Fish and 
Game. 

A collective display of tobacco in the Palace of Agriculture. 

A collective display of general agricultural products in the 
Palace of Agriculture. 

Displays of paintings and sculpture by Kentucky artists 
and sculptors ; of fancy needle and drawn work by women ; of 
historical relics; of the works of Kentucky authors and com- 
posers, in the Kentucky Building. 

The displays in the exhibit palaces occupied 15,000 square 
feet of space — the tobacco display, with over 4,600 square feet, 
having the largest space assigned to any one product, resource, 
industry, art or science on the grounds. Four thousand square 
feet were devoted to minerals, 1,200 to education, 3,000 to a 



general agricultural exhibit, 1,200 to forestry and its manufac- 
tured products, and 1,200 to horticulture. 

The most costly exhibit was that in the Mineral Depart- 
ment. As explained in greater detail elsewhere, this work had 
been in progress for a year before it was turned over to the 
Commission, having in that time been looked after by the Min- 
eral Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit Association, 
under direction of Mr. Charles P. Weaver and Prof. C. J. Nor- 
wood. Both of these gentlemen gave their services without com- 
pensation, Prof. Norwood's service continuing after the organi- 
zation of the Commission and through the entire exposition 
period. The Commission acknowledges its debt to him for put- 
ting at its disposal his great familiarity with the resources of 
the State and his skill in collecting, classifying and installing 
the display. It is believed that the demonstration made at St. 
Louis of the mineral resources of the State has already been 
productive of good results and will continue to be so productive. 
Special stress was laid upon showing the clays, oils, coal 
and structural stone, lead and zinc in the State. No previous 
effort having been made to demonstrate thoroughly what could 
be done with Kentucky clays, the Commission, under the general 
supervision of Mr. Norwood and with the assistance of Mr. 
William F. Keates, planned a comprehensive exhibit of Ken- 
tucky clays, showing 114 varieties of clay, with products made 
from each variety. One of the four enclosing walls of the space 
devoted to the mineral exhibit in the Palace of Mines and Metal- 
lurgy was constructed entirely of clay products, all the material 
for which was donated, coming from the Waco Brick and Man- 
ufacturing Company, of Waco; P. Bannon Company, of Louis- 
ville; Louisville Fire Brick Works, Highland Park, and 
the Hydraulic Brick Company, of Louisville. The clay 
from Waco was used in the construction of a handsome 
arch, specially designed and burned for this purpose. This arch 
was one of the most striking displays in the Mines Building. It 
is indeed proper here to say that a competent authority, writing 
for the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record concerning the exhibits 
in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, referred to the Kentucky 
exhibit as "one of the show pieces of the exposition." The en- 
tire clay exhibit was preserved at the close of the exposition and 
has been placed in charge of the Director of the Geological Sur- 
vey at Lexington, subject to such disposition as the State may 
choose to make of it. Another of the enclosing walls of the 
exhibit was made of Kentucky stone and a third of Kentucky

cannel coal, entrance through each being through a handsome 
arch. The stone arch was constructed for the Commission by 
the Bedford-Bowling Green Stone Company. The coal arch 
was erected by the Kentucky Block Cannel Coal Company, of 
Cannel City. The display of Kentucky coals was thorough and 
effective, and the demonstration of the great variety of Ken- 
tucky structural stone elicited many inquiries. Kentucky lead and 
zinc, for the first time at any exposition, were conspicuous, at- 
tracting much attention to the development of this rich resource. 
Kentucky oils were also for the first time strikingly exhibited and 
emphasis given to the recent development of this industry. The 
oils were shown in their crude state and refined. 

The total expenditure for the mineral exhibit by the Ken- 
tucky Exhibit Association and the State Commission was 
$11,268.27, on which is to be credited $345.85 for salvage and 
refunds, besides which property that had cost $5,944.79 has 
been returned to the State. 

After the installation of the mineral exhibit, it was in the 
direct charge of the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. W. U. Grider. 
Mr. Grider's familiarity with the .mineral resources of the State 
made his services of the greatest value to the Commission in this 
capacity. He was at all times able to answer all inquiries and 
to increase the interest of visitors in the resources of the State. 

The Tobacco Exhibit, under the competent direction of Mr. 
Charles D. Campbell, was in many respects one of the most 
successful features of the Commission's work. Mr. Campbell, 
who is thoroughly in touch with the tobacco trade at every point, 
planned a most comprehensive display and succeeded in carry- 
ing it out successfully to the utmost detail. His achievement 
in this respect was noteworthy. His exhibit, occupying the 
space of 4,628 feet, should have cost, according to the general 
experience of expositions, an average of $5.00 per square foot for 
its collection, installation and maintenance, instead of which, 
through Mr. Campbell's splendid management, and the co-op- 
eration he secured from the tobacco interests, it cost only $1.04 
per square foot. The entire amount expended for his exhibit 
by the Kentucky Exhibit Association and by the Commission 
was $6,177.05, upon which are to be credited $1,199.71 for 
salvage and $131.20 for value of property returned, making the 
net cost of this exhibit $4,846.14. This result is justly regarded 
by exposition men as remarkable. In this work Mr. Campbell 
had the able assistance of Mr. Frank Sutton, who was in direct 
charge of the exhibit as the State's representative during the 



11 



exposition period. Both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Sutton were in 
close touch during the exposition with representatives of foreign 
countries interested in tobacco, and many evidences were ob- 
served of the awakening of interest that must result in introduc- 
ing Kentucky tobaccos in new territory. The tobacco growers 
and dealers of the State gave liberal assistance in getting up 
this display, representatives of the trade having contributed to 
the funds of the Kentucky Exhibit Association. 

Besides the space in the Agricultural Building devoted to 
the special exhibit of tobacco, the State occupied a space of 
3,000 feet for a general exhibit of agricultural products other 
than tobacco. In preparing this exhibit the Commission had 
the hearty co-operation of the State Experiment Station, which 
installed one of the most attractive portions of the exhibit, Prof. 
H. Garman and Prof. G. N. Keller giving their services for some 
weeks for this purpose. The installation of the general Agri- 
cultural Exhibit was in charge of Prof. J. N. Harper, of Lexing- 
ton, who served without compensation. After the installation of 
the exhibit it was left under the supervision of Mr. W. M. 
Shobe, as Assistant Superintendent. 

The contributions of agricultural products were not secured 
with the ease that the Commission had hoped for, owing to the 
effects of drouth and other causes, but sufficient was brought 
together to make a very striking display of the State's products, 
and the material so obtained was skillfully and attractively ar- 
ranged by Prof. Harper. The list of awards in this department 
attests the excellence of the display. The total cost of the Agri- 
cultural Exhibit was $4,847.38, on which is to be credited salvage 
to the amount of $75.20, making a net cost of $4,772.18, besides 
which there was returned to Lexington and left in charge of the 
State Experiment Station and State Museum property that had 
cost $607.69, subj.ect to disposition by the State. 

The Horticultural Exhibit was continued for only two 
months, during which time it was made with fruit that had been 
secured during the previous season and placed in cold storage, 
first at Louisville and then at St. Louis. The Commission was 
disappointed in not securing from the fruit growers of the State 
such contributions as it had hoped to secure. Most of the fruit 
placed in cold storage was purchased. A thorough canvass of 
the State was made for the purpose of securing promises of 
shipments of fresh fruit, which it was expected to place on the 
tables in place of the cold storage fruit. The prospects, how- 
ever, were not good in this direction, so that it was finally de- 

12 



cided to open the Horticultural Exhibit for only two months, 
using the cold storage fruit. During these two months the 
display was entirely creditable to the State. Perhaps the most 
striking advertisement of Kentucky's fruits was secured from 
the distribution of a number of barrels of apples on Kentucky 
Day and during meetings of the International Press Parlia- 
ment and American Press Humorists at the Kentucky Building. 
This distribution established a precedent that was followed by 
a number of other States in distributing products during the 
exposition. The total cost of the Horticultural Exhibit was 
$1,644.16, on which is to be credited $301.95 in salvage and $5 
in returned property, leaving a net cost of $1,337.21. 

The display of Kentucky's forestry products at St. Louis 
was more extensive than had been made by the State at any 
previous exposition. The exhibit was designed by Mr. A. N. 
Struck, the Superintendent, and the details of installation carried 
out by his assistant, Mr. William Boa, who remained in charge 
of the exhibit during the exposition period. The exhibit was 
designed along commercial lines, with a view to showing the 
commercial value of Kentucky forests. It included about 160 
varieties of Kentucky woods and displayed a great number 
of articles manufactured from these woods. The exhibit elicited 
high praise from expert and practical men connected with for- 
estry and wood working industries. Its cost was $2,439.67, on 
which is to be credited $78.05, realized from salvage, besides 
which property that had cost $119.08 was returned to Lexing- 
ton and left in the custody of the Director of the Geological 
Bureau. 

Great interest was manifested by the educators of the State 
in making the Educational Exhibit at St. Louis a creditable one. 
Unfortunately a sufficient amount of space for this exhibit could 
not be secured, and it was, in consequence, more crowded than 
had been designed. A careful study of it, however, such as was 
made by a large number of prominent educators of the country, 
resulted in a verdict entirely favorable to the educational prog- 
ress of the State. The collection and installation of this exhibit 
involved a great amount of unselfish labor on the part of the 
Superintendent, Prof. E. H. Mark, who is Superintendent of 
the Public Schools at Louisville. The Louisville School Board 
cheerfully consented that Prof. Mark should give a considerable 
portion of his time to this work, and appropriated a sum of 
money sufficient to make a very striking exhibit of the work of 
the Louisville schools. In the exhibit was represented the 

13 



schools of Louisville, Hindman, Berea, Bowling Green, Lexing- 
ton, St. Joseph, Nazareth, Hazard, Kensee, Lancaster, Frank- 
fort, Stanford, Woodlawn, Hopkinsville, Owensboro and Dan- 
ville. The cost of the exhibit was $3,803.37, on which is to be 
credited for salvage $568.31, leaving a net cost of $3,235.06. The 
material, costing $528.09, that had been gathered for the 
exhibits of the Kentucky Institution for the Education of the 
Blind and the Kentucky School for the Deaf, was returned to 
those institutions, to be preserved as the property of the State. 

Kentucky's live stock achieved a distinct triumph at the 
St. Louis Exposition, securing from the Exposition Company 
premiums to the total amount of $14,146. To this was added 
$7,500 in premiums from this Commission, pro rated among 
the successful exhibitors. The Commission had undertaken to 
duplicate all premiums secured by exhibitors of certain classes 
of Kentucky live stock up to the amount of $7,500. Some of the 
State's finest stock was put on exhibition and constituted a 
most marked feature of the live stock show. This exhibit was 
made under the direction and management of Commissioner 
J. B. Bowles, who aroused the interest of Kentucky live stock 
men and personally looked after the interests of all Kentucky 
exhibitors. The entire expense of this department, exclusive of 
the $7,500 in premiums, was $326.89. 

The Commission feels that the expense of constructing and 
maintaining the Kentucky Building was amply justified by re- 
sults. It was not intended to advertise Kentucky hospitality 
except as an incidental to attract attention to Kentucky's ad- 
vantages for home-seekers and those desirous of investing cap- 
ital in the development of the State's resources or in manufac- 
tures. In promoting this end, the Kentucky Building was of 
the greatest value, besides serving, of course, as a popular gath- 
ering place for the people in our own State. It was visited by a 
larger number of people than any other State building on the 
grounds, with the sole exception of the Missouri Building, which, 
as the host of the exposition, was, of course, first. Within the 
building were given at various times a large number of recep- 
tions, attracting to it prominent people from all parts of the 
country. These receptions were in keeping with that develop- 
ment of the social feature, which was a marked characteristic of 
the St. Louis Exposition. With a few exceptions, the receptions 
were given without cost to the Commission. The exceptions 
noted were the Kentucky Day exercises and entertainments 
given to the representatives of various important industries 

14 



whose attention it was desired to attract to the resources of the 
State. Such affairs served to bring the State's representatives 
at St. Louis in closer touch with men whom it was desired to 
interest in the State and to make acquainted with its in- 
dustrial and commercial advantages. The Commission feels that 
its expenditures for this purpose were productive of most excel- 
lent results. Such expenditures were almost wholly paid out 
of the fund transferred to the Commission by the Kentucky 
Exhibit Association, and not out of the State appropriation. 

On three special occasions the building was the gathering 
place of an unusually large number of Kentucky people and 
others. These were the dedication of the building, February 13, 
before its transfer by the Kentucky Exhibit Association to the 
Commission; Kentucky Day, June 15, and Louisville Day, Sep- 
tember 21. The dedication was participated in by the General 
Assembly and State officials, who were taken to St. Louis for 
that purpose as guests of the Kentucky Exhibit Association. 
Kentucky Day was made a notable occasion, the exercises being 
participated in by the Governor of the Commonwealth and his 
staff, by State officials, by officials of the exposition, members 
of the Kentucky Society of St. Louis and prominent citizens of 
the State. State days were a marked feature of the exposition 
at St. Louis, and the Kentucky Commission sought, in this as 
in all other matters, to compete worthily for the honor of the 
State. The presentation of the home-coming colors of the bat- 
tleship Kentucky to Governor Beckham by representatives of 
the crew of the battleship formed an unusual feature in the pro- 
gram. The Commission acknowledges the co-operation of the 
Louisville Board of Trade and Commercial Club in making Ken- 
tucky Day a success, and the many thousands of visitors to the 
State building during the day were proof of the attractiveness 
of the occasion. The program of the day is set forth more in 
detail elsewhere in this report. Louisville Day was set aside 
by the exposition management in compliment to the metropolis 
of the State, and was participated in by Mayor Charles F. Grain- 
ger and other citizens, the exercises being under the auspices 
of the Louisville Commercial Club, which also bore the expense 
of the celebration. 

The State was fortunate in the location of the Kentucky 
Building, the Kentucky Exhibit Association having secured a 
site within the main picture of the exposition, convenient to all 
points of interest, at the junction of two main avenues and close 
to the Government Building and the Cascades. An attractive 

15 



lawn was set in Kentucky bluegrass and with shrubbery brought 
from the State. In this work the Exhibit Association and the 
Commission were greatly indebted to the Louisville Park Board. 
The Park Board, through its President, Gen. John B. Castleman, 
contributed six carloads of bluegrass sod and of shrubbery, free 
of cost, and also sent one of its park superintendents, Mr. Ernest 
Kettig, to St. Louis to lay out the lawn and plant the shrubbery. 
In this work Mr. Kettig co-operated with Mr. Henry Nanz, who 
had from the first superintended all plans for floral display. 

As Chairman of the Building Committee of the Kentucky 
Exhibit Association and afterwards of the Commission, Mr. 
W. H. Newman was chiefly responsible for the erection of such 
an attractive structure. The task required a great deal of his 
time and had been nearly completed before the appointment of 
the Commission. His practical experience and ability secured 
the fullest possible returns for every dollar expended. The 
furnishing of the building was in charge of Commissioner Sam 
P. Jones and Commissioner Newman. By advantageous ar- 
rangements with Fred W. Keisker & Co., and the Stewart Dry 
Goods Company, of Louisville, they secured furniture, carpets 
and draperies at manufacturer's prices, these firms generously 
contributing their usual profits — an act in keeping with the 
public spirit displayed at so many points by the citizens of the 
State in connection with the exposition. The handsome piano 
in the Kentucky Building was contributed by D. H. Baldwin 
& Co., and was at the close of the exposition placed in the 
Governor's mansion at Frankfort as the property of the State. 
Having been specially made and decorated for use in the Ken- 
tucky Building at the exposition, it forms an interesting souvenir 
of the event. 

Utilizing its space in the various exhibit buildings for an 
illustration of the natural resources of the State, it was the 
policy of the Commission to avoid crowding the State building 
with such exhibits and to collect in it a complete and attractive 
display of fine arts, woman's work and relics. In this under- 
taking it was successful. A marked feature of the building was 
its adornment with the works of Kentucky artists and sculptors. 
For this purpose 240 paintings were loaned by citizens of 
the State, some by the artists and some by owners. The 
collection added very materially to the attractiveness of the 
building. On the second and third floors, attractively arranged, 
were valuable collections of woman's work and of relics, illus- 
trating the skill of Kentucky women in the one case, and in the

DIVISION OF EXHIBITS— DIRECTOR AND SUPERINTENDENTS.

other bringing together some most interesting reminders of the 
early history of the State. Detailed description of these collec- 
tions will be found appended to this report. In the collection of 
paintings and sculpture the Commission was fortunate in 
securing the services of Mr. Marvin Eddy, of Louisville. Mr. 
Eddy, like other Superintendents, served the State without com- 
pensation, and to carry out his plans as he succeeded in doing 
it was necessary for him to give a great deal of his time. He not 
only secured the loan of the pictures and sculpture displayed, but 
personally superintended their placing in the Kentucky Building. 

The exhibits of woman's work and relics were collected by 
Mrs. W. B. Carothers. Her familiarity with the available ma- 
terial and her plan of arrangement resulted in making this one 
of the most successful of the undertakings of the Commission. 
These exhibits were not entered for awards, and consequently 
are not represented in the honors won by the State, so far as 
shown by the records of the Exposition Company, but they were 
through the entire period of the exposition paid the tribute of 
close examination by thousands of visitors to the State building. 

The Commission installed over 2,500 different exhibits, in- 
cluding the displays of fine arts and woman's work in the Ken- 
tucky Building, and safely returned to the exhibitors or sent to 
the State Museum, Agricultural Experiment Station, etc., every 
one of these exhibits, not one which came into the custody 
of the Commission for the exposition period being lost. A 
record of the movements of all exhibits returned was kept in 
detail, with receipts, consecutively numbered, from the ex- 
hibitors. 

At the suggestion of the Director of Exhibits of the Com- 
mission, further value was given to the exhibits in minerals, 
forestry, tobacco and agriculture by daily talks or demonstra- 
tions given in their respective departments by Mr. Grider, Mr. 
Sutton, Mr. Boa and Mr. Shobe. 

The Commission endeavored at the break-up of the expo- 
sition to make such distribution of the property that had come 
into its possession as would best serve to further promote the 
purposes of the display. To this end it complied with the re- 
quest of various colleges and museums for some specimens of 
the State's products taken from the various exhibits. More 
detailed information as to this distribution will be found in the 
proper place in this report. By means of this distribution there 
has been placed at different points in this country and in foreign 

17 



countries valuable reminders of Kentucky in the form of selected 
specimens of its products. 

It is doubtful if any State secured a greater number of 
awards and prizes at the exposition than were taken by Ken- 
tucky. The number of prizes and medals awarded to Kentucky 
was 514. Of these 318 were on live stock, 63 in minerals, 50 in 
tobacco, j6 in agriculture, 16 in horticulture, 15 in education, 
23 in forestry. The live stock prizes represent a total of $21,646 
in premiums. The other awards were distributed as follows: 
In minerals, 1 grand prize, 8 gold medals, 23 silver medals, 31 
bronze medals; in tobacco, 5 grand prizes, 15 gold medals, 12 
silver medals, 18 bronze medals ; in agriculture, 8 gold medals, 
1 1 silver medals, 57 bronze medals ; in horticulture, 5 silver 
medals, 1 1 bronze medals ; in education, 2 gold medals, 8 silver 
medals, 5 bronze medals ; in forestry, 5 gold medals, 1 1 silver 
medals, 7 bronze medals. Twenty-four exhibits were installed 
by Kentuckians in the different palaces, without cost to the 
Commission, and in each case the representation was creditable. 
The Commission gave assistance to these exhibitors in securing 
the space required and good locations. These independent 
exhibits were to be found in Liberal Arts, Electricity, Ma- 
chinery, Transportation, Agriculture, Mines and Metallurgy, 
Social Economy, Education and Fine Arts. Many of the ex- 
hibitors received high awards, some of them receiving grand 
prizes. 

, As part of its work of exploiting the State and its resources, 
your Commission has had published out of its fund 1,100 copies 
of this report in order that it might distribute them not only 
among citizens of the State, but among representatives of other 
States and foreign countries, having had many calls for such a 
publication from visitors to the State's building and exhibits. 

Respectfully submitted, 

A. Y. FORD, President of Commission. 

R. E. HUGHES, Secretary and Director of Exhibits.

KENTUCKY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE 

LOUISIANA PURCHASE 

EXPOSITION. 

THE Kentucky Building and each of the State's exhibits 
spoke an invitation to the home-seeker, the laborer, the 
capitalist ; spoke of the opportunities of a new State 
with the home life of an old State ; spoke of fertile soil, splendid 
climate, varied products, cheap fuel, contented labor, good 
schools, good colleges, good roads, good people, cheap timber 
lands, oil lands, coal lands, clay deposits, rich lead and zinc, cheap 
raw material, low taxes, cheap transportation, growing indus- 
tries. 

Kentucky's exhibits pointed to the fact — 

That with an area of 41,283 square miles, there are less than 
1,500 square miles unfit for agriculture. 

That this solid sheet of farming surface is, in large part, 
underlaid by mineral stores of great value, the rare association 
of fertile soils, with mineral deposits of notable extent and value. 

That in acreage of hardwood forest the State still stands 
among the first, and it is rich in some of the softer woods. 

That the State has an aggregate of 15,680 square miles of 
coal-bearing measures, perhaps a larger area of persistently 
workable high-grade bituminous coal than has any other State. 

That coking coal (one to four seams) occurs in not less 
than ten counties of the Eastern field, eight of them containing 
as high-grade coking coal as is known to this country. 

That in the Western Kentucky field two coking seams, re- 
markably persistent in thickness and quality, are found in seven 
counties. 

That in the number, size and quality of its cannel coal 
pockets Kentucky stands first among the States. 

That there are four definite iron ore horizons in the State. 

That rich deposits of lead, zinc and fluor spar have been 
found in widely separated parts of the State, and development 
is going on rapidly. 

That Kentucky has stone — gray, buff and cream-colored — 
admirably suited for structural and certain sculptural purposes, 
in inexhaustible quantities ; in quality equal to the best in the

world ; in varieties greater than found in almost any other sec- 
tion, and as yet practically untouched. 

That Kentucky is rich in a great variety of clays, including 
potter's and fire-clays of exceptionally high quality, and vitrify- 
ing brick clays of proved excellence, and that comparatively little 
attention having been paid to such deposits in the past, the State 
is practically a virgin field for the clay manufacturer. 

That in number of productive oil horizons Kentucky is 
fortunate, with reason to believe that the petroleum industry will 
eventually become one of the most important in the State. 

That Kentucky has enough of the finest rock asphalt to 
build a street sixty feet wide around the world, its value having 
been demonstrated in many cities. 

That the forests of Kentucky have been fortunately pre- 
served by the barriers of nature, but the improvement of the 
water-ways and the penetration of the territory by railroads, 
rapidly opening up to the outside world these rich forests, make 
the present a most propitious time for investors to investigate. 

That Kentucky's forests offer a solution to the problems 
confronting the immigrant with little means, who is in search 
of a home, as in many counties timber land may be purchased, 
cleared and the logs sold for more than enough to pay for the 
land, which may then be cultivated successfully. 

That Kentucky raises more tobacco and a larger variety of 
types than any State in the Union or any country in the world. 

That for chewing and smoking purposes, Kentucky tobacco 
is admittedly the finest that grows, a statement eloquently at- 
tested by the fact that almost every nation upon the globe comes 
to it for some type or other of tobacco. 

That with a school system that has constantly improved 
for a century and a quarter, Kentucky may invite immigration 
with the assurance that the children will find schools the equal 
of those in any State. 

That 90 per cent, of the hemp of the United States is grown 
within her borders. 

That farming methods in Kentucky are steadily on the 
advance, within the past ten years scientific agriculture having 
been greatly promoted through the efforts of the State Experi- 
ment Station. 

That Kentucky's live stock has no superiors and few equals. 

That Kentucky offers unusual attractions to those who de- 
sire to engage in manufacture. 

That Kentucky is not a tax-ridden State, her citizenship 

47 



being of the highest type and hers being a peace-loving, home- 
loving, enterprising people. 



THE NEW KENTUCKY HOME. 

The Kentucky State pavilion at the exposition, in line with 
the spirit of progress in the State, was dedicated as the "New 
Kentucky Home," and time proved that it deserved the name. 

With the possible exception of the Missouri Building, the 
host of the exposition, the "New Kentucky Home" had a fuller 
calendar of important events than any other State building. By 
careful study of the visitors' register with the total attendance 
at the exposition, it is clear that one out of every eighteen vis- 
itors to the Fair was a guest of the "New Kentucky Home." 

Furnished comfortably and attractively, but not expensively, 
its spacious halls were most inviting to large crowds. Its walls, 
hung with over $20,000 worth of the paintings of Kentucky 
artists — the most important collection in a State building; a 
score of glass cases holding one of the best exhibits of fancy 
needlework at the Fair and a display of relics equal to the 
rarest ; with a library of the works of Kentucky authors and an 
art design piano, loaded with Kentucky-written music, the "New 
Kentucky Home" was easily one of the most interesting of the 
big show. 

The first building representing a State beyond the confines 
of the Louisiana Purchase Territory to be dedicated (February 
13, 1904), it was one of the few pavilions ready to receive visitors 
on the opening day of the exposition. The standard of Kentucky 
hospitality was maintained throughout the 182 "open" days of 
the exposition, and to this might be added the Sundays, for at 
no time was the "New Kentucky Home" closed except between 
the hours of 11 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m. With four 
sides, and every side a front, its doors were always wide open 
and no restriction was placed upon visitors. Everything was free, 
from the newspaper files to the stationery and the check room. 
When other buildings were closed on account of mud and chil- 
dren's days, the Executive Commissioner issued the manifesto : 
"Kentucky is not afraid of water and Kentucky drinks no toasts 
to King Herod !" 

The "New Kentucky Home," more than all else of Ken- 
tucky's representation at the exposition, may be said to have 
been the work of the Kentucky Exhibit Association. 

48 



When a three months' canvass of the State for subscrip- 
tions by committees of the Association disclosed the fact that the 
public favored Kentucky's taking a prominent part in the 1904 
exposition, plans looking to a judicious expenditure of the 
money were formulated. These called for a building and exhib- 
its in the different departments. 

On the former an architects' competition was conducted, 
with the result that Kenneth McDonald and J. F. Sheblessy, of 
Louisville, were awarded the first prize and given authority to 
complete their working drawings and invite bids. In this com- 
petition Caldwell & Drake, contractors, of Columbus, Ind., won 
on a bid of $28,550. Later some changes in the plan of con- 
struction, which improved the building, materially increased the 
original contract. 

The Building Committee, which passed on the architects' 
designs and which opened the bids and recommended to the 
Board of Directors the award, was made up as follows : W. H. 
Newman, Chairman; A. Y. Ford, Fred Hoertz, J. T. Funk, 
Donald McDonald, Charles Earl Currie, R. S. Brown, James 
E. Dorland, Dan Rommel, Dr. James B. Bullitt, L. Pike Camp- 
bell, J. W. Gaulbert, Dr. H. D. Rodman, Harry Weissinger, all 
of Louisville, and John W. Miller, of Lancaster. 

The first site allotted Kentucky for its State building was 
on the Plateau of States, a tract of 100 acres in the southeastern 
portion of the grounds. The formal allottment was attended 
with impressive exercises on September 30, 1902, while the 
Kentucky Exhibit Association was a temporary organization. 

After the design submitted by McDonald & Sheblessy had 
been accepted as the best, Messrs. Newman and Ford asked to 
be allowed to locate the building where the Metal pavilion later 
stood. This request was made because it would put Kentucky 
closer to the main buildings of the exposition. 

Just before the architects and contractors got ready to lay 
out the building on the new site, however, the request for a 
change of location having been granted, the Department of 
Mines and Metallurgy, being very desirous of obtaining the 
new site assigned Kentucky for a Metal pavilion as a fitting 
introduction to the Mining Gulch, made a proposition to Presi- 
dent Ford looking to a shifting of the location of the Kentucky 
Building across the street, putting it within the main picture of 
the exposition, only a few hundred yards from Festival Hall and 
the Cascades. The proposition was accepted, and thus Kentucky 
got the most prominent site for a State building on the grounds. 

49 



By February 13 — eleven weeks before 
The the exposition's opening — the building 

Dedication. was ready for dedication, and members of 

the State Senate and House of Repre- 
sentatives were taken over to the dedicatory exercises in a spe- 
cial train tendered them by the Louisville & Nashville and the 
L., H. & St. L. railroads. 

A formal transfer of the building by the Kentucky Exhibit 
Association to the Kentucky World's Fair Commission, ap- 
pointed by Governor Beckham, acting under the provisions of 
the appropriation bill, was made a part of the dedicatory 
exercises. 

Rapidly following the dedication the few finishing touches 
were put on the building, and the grounds around it were graded 
to a beautiful slope. Six carloads of bluegrass sod and Ken- 
tucky shrubbery were taken over gratis by the Southern rail- 
way. Within a week a broad prospect of mud gave way to a 
most attractive bit of landscape effect. Thanks are due the 
Louisville Board of Park Commissioners, and especially its 
President, Gen. John B. Castleman, for the sod and shrubbery 
donated for the purposes to which they were put. The Park 
Board also donated the services of Mr. Ernest Kettig, who 
went to St. Louis, laid out the grounds and superintended the 
planting of the shrubbery and laying of the sod. Mr. H. 
Nanz, of Louisville, heartily co-operated with Mr. Kettig, con- 
tributing a large amount of shrubbery, in addition to the plants 
for the building, which he sold the Commission at reduced 
figures. Meanwhile the interior of the building took on a home- 
like appearance, and when the exposition opened, April 30, this 
is what, the visitors to the "New Kentucky Home" beheld : 

A building of a modern style of classic architecture — three 
stories in height, with four pillared fronts, connecting porches 
extending entirely around ; broad verandas that spoke an invi- 
tation to the world; ten flagpoles carrying in the breezes of this 
April morning four "Old Glories" and six pennants of red, with 

"Kentucky" emblazoned in white; rifty- 

Pleasing to four vases, filled with ferns and ever- 

the Eye. greens, dotting here, there and every- 

where every sharp angle; two massive 
stands of flowers and palms at either side of each entrance ; the 
entire building a pure white, given a purer aspect by the red 
and blue of the flags and pennants, and nature's red, green, 
golden and purple in the flower stands and vases.

THE KENTUCKY BUILDING.

Sitting well back on the natural incline, to the left a 
cluster of cedars, to the right a group of elms, it smiled down 
upon a lawn, divided gracefully into converging walks, in whose 
center reposed artistically a flower-bed twenty feet in diameter. 

Stepping inside, the visitor was even more pleased than 
when he saw the exterior. He beheld the warmth of a true 
Southern home — in the smiling welcome of the official family 
of the building as well as in the furnishings — the walls a light 
green with a freize, in which "Ky." was worked effectively into 
the design ; the ceilings of cream ; the first floor a large reception 
hall; the second and third as large, with the exception of a 
center light well that looked up to a dome of cathedral glass ; 
four corner rooms on the first floor, carpeted in green ; the sec- 
ond similar to the first, with the difference that at the north end 
a suite of three, known as ladies' reception parlors, car- 
peted in green, with mahogany furniture with rich tapestry 
finishings. Everywhere were comfortable chairs and Daven- 
ports. 

iThe building was erected with almost an eye single to the 
convenience of the public, and not — as were a majority of 
State buildings — for the convenience of those representatives 
and employes of the Commission who lived within it throughout 
the exposition period. One room on the first floor was fur- 
nished for the Commissioner assigned to duty as Com- 
missioner in charge for a given time; one room on 
the second floor was used by the hostess, and one room 
on the third floor by the Secretary. There being thirty weeks 
in the exposition period, each of the fifteen Commissioners was 
assigned to two weeks' duty at the building. All members of 
the board spent their allotted time, with the exception of Col. 
Charles E. Hoge, of Frankfort, who was prevented from doing 
so on account of illness in his family at the time given him in 
the schedule of dates. Some of the Commissioners, unable to 
arrange their business affairs at home so the entire fortnight at 
one time could be spent in the building, they alternated weeks 
one with the other. Two meetings of the board were held at 
the building during the fair — one on the opening day, the other 
on June 16. 

The office of the Secretary was on the first floor in one of 
the corner rooms. Immediately outside the door of the office 
was the desk of the Bureau of Information, with Miss Mary A. 
Burton, of Lebanon, in charge. Miss Burton spent eight hours 
every day at this desk and met the trying duties of this position 

5i 



with satisfaction to all. Within a few feet of the Bureau of 
Information, where also stood the postoffice of the building, 
was the table bearing the visitors' registers. The other corner 
room at the north of the building was known as the Colonial 
room, having on its floor an old-fashioned rag carpet and being 
furnished with old furniture from "Federal Hill," the home of 
Judge John Rowan, near Bardstown, Ky., which Stephen Col- 
lins Foster was visiting when given the inspiration to write "My 
Old Kentucky Home." This furniture was kindly loaned by 
Mrs. Madge Rowan Frost. The space between this room and 
the Secretary's office was devoted to reading and writing. Desks, 
newspaper files, magazines and a large bookcase filled with 
the works of Kentucky authors were provided for the visitor. 
There were in addition three large albums of Kentucky views, 
made by some of the State's best photographers. The library 
contained books written by the following authors : 

D. T. Smith, Cale Young Rice, W. B. Godbey, Enos Spen- 
cer, Ruric N. Roark, Madison J. Cawein, Ingram Crockett,

The Superintendent of the Woman's Work and Relics De- 
partment, Mrs. W. B. Carothers, had her desk on the second 
floor near the head of the steps. 

A month before the opening of the exposition the Commis- 
sion elected Mrs. Bertha Miller Smith, of Richmond, as Hostess 
of the building. Her gracious manner made every visitor feel 
at home, once inside the door. The Secretary, who, by resolu- 
tion of the Commission, was placed in direct charge of the build- 
ing and all the State's exhibits, had the assistance of C. F. 
Dunn, of Louisville, in the office work and of Henry Baird, of 
Louisville, in the management of the building. 

Several cold days in October made the building disagree- 
able without some kind of heat, and it was determined that a 
hot air furnace should be installed. This furnace was secured 
on a rental basis, and the building's popularity increased, be- 
cause none of the exhibit palaces and few of the State pavilions 
had heat. 

The contract made with the exposition company by the 

53 



Commission looking to the erection of a building stipulated that 
the building was to be torn down as soon after the Fair as pos- 
sible, all lumber, staff and rubbish removed, the site, including 
the lawn, to be restored to its first shape. In all estimates of 
expenditures and receipts it was considered that little or no 
salvage could be counted on from this source. The California 
building at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, having cost over 
$100,000, brought only $500 from the wreckers, and other build- 
ings were sold at about the same per cent, of cost. Several 
attempts were made* to sell the Kentucky Building at St. Louis, 
but $200 was the best bid received until the Chicago House 
Wrecking Company proposed to relieve the Commission of its 
contract with the exposition and pay $325 in addition for the 
salvage from the building. The architects had estimated that 
there would hardly be more than $550 salvage in the building, 
derived from sales of hardware, glass and lumber. Several 
buildings which cost more than the Kentucky Building sold 
for no more, while the German Pavilion, erected at a cost of 
$150,000, was offered for sale for $100 before the Fair had been 
closed a month. 

About five weeks before the end of the exposition the Com- 
mission directed the Secretary to sell the furniture, carpets, cur- 
tains and draperies for delivery December 1. This was done, 
the prices realized exceeding expectations. In some instances 
full cost was received, while on other articles prices ranged from 
25 to 70 per cent, of original cost. 

The total salvage, building and contents, was $2,699.20. 
The days were few and far between when the Kentucky 
Building did not appear on the daily program of the exposi- 
tion. If its calendar of events did not announce a reception, it 
would a musicale; if not a musicale, a wedding; if not a 
wedding, a State or city day of some character. Its spacious 
lower hall early in the Fair came to be recognized as an 
ideal place for entertaining, and the Commission was often 
asked for use of the building by different societies, associa- 
tions and fraternities and by commissions 
Calendar of other States. These requests were in- 

of Events. variably granted, but at no time were 

they allowed to conflict with the free use 
of the building by the public. If the entertainment were

public. If night were preferred for the entertainment, the Com- 
mission permitted the use of all floors for the occasion. 

This constant appearance of the "New Kentucky Home" 
on the daily program of the exposition, coupled with the air of 
hospitality always found there, made of the Kentucky Building 
one of the places of popular resort during the Fair, and one of 
the best known on the grounds.

There were numerous smaller events, including piano and 
song recitals, readings, etc. Naturally, in importance, Kentucky 
Day headed the calendar. One of the first State days of the 
exposition, it was widely advertised and well attended. A 
bright dawn brought to the minds of those assisting in the cele- 
bration the familiar words of Stephen Collins Foster's famous 
song. The special train from Kentucky, bearing Governor 
Beckham and staff, was met by members of the Kentucky Com- 
mission in carriages, who acted as escort to the Governor on 

an official visit to the President of the 
Kentucky exposition. Following this, a line of 

Day march was formed in front of the Admin- 

istration Building, and with bands play- 
ing, the column moved through the main picture of the exposi- 
tion to the Kentucky Building. The parade had a military bear- 
ing, all the troops on the grounds — national and State, the Phil- 
ippine Constabulary, the Philippine Scouts, and both their bands, 
joining in making the procession a strikingly beautiful one. 
The exercises at the building were very impressive, including, as 
they did, a feature at once unique and original — the presenta- 
tion of the home-coming colors of the battleship Kentucky by 
members of the crew to Governor Beckham. 

Addresses appropriate to the occasion were made by Gov-

ernor Beckham, President David R. Francis of the exposition, 
President A. Y. Ford of the Commission, the Hon. Harry B. 
Hawes, President of the Kentucky Society of St. Louis, and the 
Hon. E. J. McDermott, of Louisville. Immediately following 
the conclusion of this program the Governor, party and staff 
and the Kentucky ecfitors were invited to a luncheon at Mrs. 
Rorer's cafe, in the East Pavilion. 

The afternoon was given over to "open house," the building 
being thronged witE visitors. The reception at night was a 
social function that fittingly closecl a busy day. The entertain- 
ment on the following evening, under the auspices of the Ken- 
tucky Society ot St. Louis, was a marked success. It may be 
said in this connection that members of this organization and 
their wives in a large measure helped to make the Kentucky 
Building popular. These ladies took time about in assisting 
the hostess, Mrs. Bertha Miller Smith. The wife of the Presi- 
dent, Mrs. Harry B. Hawes, was at the head of a committee 
formed solely lor this pleasant duty. 

Louisville Day scored another special triumph for the Ken- 
tucky Building. The feature of the morning program was the 
appearance — their first in public — of the Igorrote singing class 
from the Philippine Reservation. This quartet of brown sav- 
ages sang "My Old Kentucky Home" in a way that surprised 
the entire audience. In the afternoon addresses were made by 
Mayor Charles F. Gramger, of Louisville, and by Judge Thomas 
R. Gordon and Frank C. Nunemacher, both of Louisville. 

The visitors' register on the day of the reception to the 
World's Press Parliament received the names of guests from 
thirty-five different States and eleven foreign countries. A line 
should be given here to the fact that the Kentucky Building had 
the largest and handsomest visitors' register in any State build- 
ing. It was presented to the Kentucky Exhibit Association by 
the Bookbinders' Union of Louisville and held 49,000 names. 
It was filled before September 1, giving way to smaller ones on 
which something over 60,000 visitors placed their names. Presi- 
dent Francis headed the first page of the big register. 

Reference to the calendar will show that two other State 
days — Alabama and Colorado — were held in the Kentucky 
Building. Neither had a State building, and sought the "New 
Kentucky Home^ Tbr these important occasions, which were 
largely attended. 

The various receptions to outside interests, such as the 
National Brick Manufacturers, the British Iron and Steel Insti- 

57 



tute, the Engineers and Architects, etc., were part of the ma- 
tured plan to bring Kentucky and her products and resources to 
the attention of the world, and especially to the attention of 
practical men whose understanding of the State's resources 
would be of value. 

The piano in the Kentucky Building, one of the handsomest 

on the exposition grounds, was donated by D. H. Baldwin & 

Co., of Louisville. It was made of Kentucky woods, the painted 

„ . f panels depicting Kentucky landscapes. 

K t . This instrument added very much to the 

n attractiveness of the building 1 . At the

close of the exposition the piano was 

sent to the Governor's Mansion at Frankfort, having first been 

thoroughly overhauled and the painted panels put in condition 

to survive a century's use, at the Baldwin factory. 

The piano, during its stay in the Kentucky Building, held 
music from the following Kentucky composers : Mrs. Kate 
Slaughter McKinney, Frank L. Bristow, J. S. Lake, Ona Mef- 
fert Fraser, Mary Florence Taney, H. Miller Cunningham, 
William Edwards Baxter, Eugenie Clark, Katherine Tabb 
Craven, Isabel Mohan, M. B. Brooks, Mrs. Frankie Parker 
Davis, Henry Cleveland Wood and the Rev. Joseph Tonello. 
There were several versions of "My Old Kentucky Home," by 
Stephen Collins Foster, included in the collection. The Baldwin 
Company distributed 10,000 copies of "My Old Kentucky 
Home" at the BluTding during the Fair. 

The fact is worthy of mention in this connection that three 
Kentuckians participated in the musical programs in Festival 
Hall under the direction of the Bureau of Music of the exposi- 
tion. Miss Flora Marguerite Bertelle, of Louisville, sang the 
soprano part in "The Messiah" and also appeared in a couple of 
organ recitals, singing solos. Mr. Gustave Frese, of Louisville, 
gave two recitals and Mr. Harry von Tobel, of Lexington, one 
recital on the pipe organ. 



THE TOBACCO EXHIBIT. 

Charles D. Campbell, Superintendent; Frank Sutton, As- 
sistant Superintendent. 

Kentucky's tobacco exhibit was given the best location in 
the Palace of Agriculture. It was the first display in the central 
nave, introducing the visitor, coming through the north or main 

58 



entrance, to the vast domain embracing twenty-four acres of 
foreign and domestic representation. And visitors, after study- 
ing the exhibit, were ready to admit that Kentucky deserved the 
choice she got for a display of the weed made respectable by 
Sir Walter Raleigh and made famous by Kentucky. 

The exhibit was conceded to be the best and most in- 
structive exhibit ever made in tobacco, a display which was as 
much admired as any on the grounds. Occupying an entire 
block — 4,628 square feet of space — it covered more floor area 
than any other display in the 1,240 acres of the exposition de- 
voted to a single product. 

There was shown in miniature, or by pictures, tobacco in 
every phase of its cultivation and manufacture, from the time 
the seed is sown in the plant bed in February, taken from the 
bed and transplanted in the field in May or June, cut and hung 
in the barn to cure in September, stripped from the stalk, classi- 
fied, tied in hands, prized in the hogshead and shipped to market 
in November and December, until it finds its way to the manu- 
facturer and is stemmed, dried and made into the finished 
product. There also were found some of the finest specimens of 
the manufacturers' art and of the growers' skill and patience. 

The space devoted to Kentucky's tobacco was eighty-nine 
feet long and fifty-two feet wide. Thus the visitor, immediately 
upon stepping through the main entrance of the Palace of Agri- 
culture, looked upon an expanse of fifty-two feet, with a sug- 
gestion of "Kentucky" in every foot. The first thing to catch 
the eye was a giant tobacco leaf, which, including the ten-foot 
base, was forty-five feet high. The leaf proper, therefore, was 
thirty-five feet high, and, being perfectly proportioned, was 
fifteen feet wide at its widest part. One side was made of burley 
tobacco, with the name "Kentucky" across the center in large 
letters of dark tobacco. The other side was the reverse as to 
colors. On both sides lighter shades were used to bring out the 
stems and fibers. The giant leaf stood in a mammoth jar eight 
feet high by ten in diameter. This jar was artistically made and 
was composed of packages of manufactured tobacco. The pack- 
ages were of many sizes and shapes, and among them was a box 
of plug tobacco three feet square, the largest ever made. The 
wooden tops had been removed from the packages and replaced 
with glass, so the tobacco could be seen by anyone interested. 

To show to a good advantage the successive steps in the 
culture, harvesting, curing and marketing of the tobacco, two 
platforms, each thirty-one feet long by eight feet wide, were 

59 



utilized. They were on opposite aisles of trie space, running par- 
allel with the eighty-nine-foot sides. On 

Educational one platform were shown the plant beds 

Feature. and fields, on the other the curing barns 

and warehouses. Nothing more realistic 
than these miniature representations could be imagined. Espe- 
cially was this true of the fields, where the green tobacco had 
every appearance of being matured. Hardly a day passed with- 
out some visitor asking to be allowed to take one of the plants 
home to see whether or not he could make it grow on his farm. 

Two plant beds made it possible to show the seed just shown 
and the young plants ready for transplanting. These beds were 
covered in the regulation Kentucky way with tobacco canvas 
in which holes were cut to enable one to see what was beneath. 

The first field had the young plants just transplanted and 
the "darky" field hands returning to their little log cabin, where 
the dog, the "mammy" and the small pickaninny were awaiting 
them on the porch. The next field gave the period of the growth 
as seen in July and early in August. Here the tobacco, of a 
rich, dark green, "grew" luxuriantly. The laborers were busy at 
work topping and worming. The last field showed the plants 
in the ripened state. They were now of a light green or yellow, 
and the field hands were cutting and carrying them to the scaf- 
fold, where they were placed on sticks and allowed to hang a 
few days before being transported to the curing barns. 

Each of the fields was encompassed by the old-time rail 
fence. All of this picture was true to nature, the plants, log 
cabin, rail fence, barns and warehouse being made to scale. 

The platform on the opposite side of the space supported 
the curing barns and a model of a city warehouse. One of the 
barns was full of green plants, just in from the field, while the 
other showed the cured plants being taken down, prized in hogs- 
heads and shipped to market. The warehouse was a sectional 
reproduction of those in Louisville, giving a view of three gal- 
leries, a cellar stored full of hogsheads and a sales floor with a 
"break" set up awaiting sampling by the inspector. 

From the warehouse the tobacco goes to the manufacturer. 
The process through which it is then put was depicted in a series 
of enlarged photographs, made especially for this exhibit from 
negatives taken in some of the most complete factories in Amer- 
ica. Successively in order named could be seen a stemming 
room, drying and ordering room, prizing room, bulkroom, lump 
and wrapping room, pressroom and shipping room. 

60 



At the south end of the exhibit space was the Superintend- 
ent's office, and directly behind his desk was a high pyramid 
of barrels, showing the style of package in which tobacco extract 
is exported. This is a product of Kentucky leaf and is used in 
foreign countries for flavoring and strengthening the native to- 
bacco. 

The cases used for displaying the leaf samples were twenty 
in number, especially designed and manufactured for this pur- 
pose. Lined with old gold or dark blue plush, according to 
whether the samples shown were of dark or light color, they 
enabled the exhibitor to display his tobacco to the highest pos- 
sible advantage. Two of the cases were placed diagonally back 
to back in each of the four corners of the exhibit. 

Twelve cases occupied the center and were set in the form 
of an oval, six to a side. In these cases, fifty odd individual 
exhibitors showed to the world the highest type of leaf tobacco, 
and above the cases and in the boxes forming the jar holding 
the giant leaf the manufacturer had on display the best products 
of Kentucky's famous factories.

Over each end of the cases forming the oval was the coat 
of arms of Kentucky, four feet in diameter and made entirely 
out of tobacco. 

The corner cases were allotted to the four principal tobacco 
markets, and in them were displayed the types peculiar to each 
market. Of the twelve central cases, one row showed the types 
used in domestic manufacture, the other the types that are ex- 
ported. In the "domestic" row were to be seen tobacco products, 
including nicotine, sheep wash, insecticide, oils, extracts, fer- 
tilizers, various salts, etc., all grades of burley, dark, Green river 
and one-sucker manufacturing types, including wrappers, fillers 
and granulators and samples of what is made from them, such 
as plug, twist, fine-cut, cigarettes, stogies, pipe-smoking and 
snuff. 

On the export side the visitor got a knowledge of all the 
types of tobacco that Kentucky ships to foreign countries. A 
few of the samples were burley, but the majority were dark; 
some were strips, but a greater portion leaf. 

Giving this prominence to the foreign types of tobacco was 

63 



certainly an act of wisdom on the part of Superintendent Camp- 
bell, for almost every nation on the globe comes to Kentucky 
for some type or other of tobacco. Spain, France, Italy and 
Austria let contracts annually, as governments, for thousands 
of hogsheads of Kentucky tobacco for delivery at stated times. 
The amount of Kentucky tobacco yearly imported by Great 
Britain and Ireland is the equivalent of 60,000,000 pounds of leaf. 
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands buy heavily of Kentucky 

tobacco. Sweden, Norway, Russia and 
Foreigners Switzerland take Kentucky tobacco, too. 

Interested. With Africa, Kentucky has long enjoyed 

a profitable and steadily increasing trade 
in tobacco, and the annual exports to that country are now enor- 
mous. Kentucky's exports of tobacco to Mexico, the West 
Indies and the countries of Central and South America form no 
inconsiderable item of the yearly business of Uncle Sam with 
these countries. Japan has only recently begun to use tobacco 
from this country, but the annual importation by Japan of "the 
Weed" now exceeds 5,000,000 pounds. From China inquiries 
for Kentucky tobacco are commencing, and it is only reasonable 
to expect that before very long a new market will be found with 
that country. The British North American countries each year 
buy millions of pounds of tobacco in Kentucky. 

All of these countries had hundreds of citizens visit the 
exposition, and they took the deepest interest in Kentucky's 
tobacco exhibit. In it they saw for the first time how tobacco 
is grown, harvested and stored. 

At each of the four corners of the exhibit was an octagonal 
glass case, six feet high and five feet in diameter, in which were 
shown, with the cask stripped off, four as fine hogsheads of 
tobacco as it was possible to produce in Kentucky. They were 
of regulation size and weight and represented the distinct types 
of burley, dark, Green river and one-sucker tobacco. 

Naturally, one will inquire the designer of such a compre- 
hensive exhibit. To Mr. Charles D. Campbell, of Louisville, is 
due the credit for designing and executing the plans that re- 
sulted in this perfect display. As Chairman of the Tobacco 
Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit Association, and as 
Superintendent directing the collection and installation of the 
exhibit, Mr. Campbell had the able assistance of a good commit- 
tee. He gave his time to the work without one cent of compen- 
sation and received a gold medal from the International Jury 
of Awards for his originality of design and execution. The plan

was wholly his own, the Commission accepting it without change. 

Mr. Frank Sutton, of Louisville, was Assistant Superintend- 
ent in charge of the exhibit from the moment installation began. 
He proved himself a worthy assistant of Mr. Campbell, and to 
him is due the credit for working out the details of installation. 

One of the features of the tobacco exhibit was its complete- 
ness in every detail. Months of work were necessary to bring 
about this result. Upon his appointment as Chairman of the 
Tobacco Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit Associa- 
tion, more than a year before the exposition opened, Mr. Camp- 
bell began to lay his plans. Starting thus early, he had two 
crops of tobacco — 1902 and 1903 — from which to make choice. 
His committee, composed of E. J. O'Brien, Louisville; Joseph 

Robinson, Louisville; James S. Eddie, 

Preliminary Louisville; W. O. Head, Louisville; A. P. 

Work. Barnard, Louisville; J. M. Vaughan, 

Owensboro ; Ed Rice, Kelsey ; William H. 
Cummings, Jr., Hopkinsville ; R. H. Soaper, Henderson; E. L. 
Hendrick, Bowling Green ; Daniel Peed, Paris ; James Bright, 
Shelbyville; Dr. J. M. Frazee, Maysville; George Ligon, May- 
field ; John W. Brown, Louisville, and George N. Casey, Cov- 
ington, succeeded in developing interest from the first, and, as 
they represented every distinctive tobacco type district in the 
State, there was soon assurance that the representation would 
not only be full but general. As the exposition year approached 
it became manifest that the 1903 crop was a most excellent one 
and, therefore, the samples selected, in a majority of cases, were 
from the 1903 plants. This was true of the four hogsheads of 
tobacco which occupied the octagonal glass cases. These hogs- 
heads were conceded to be the best of their respective types ever 
gathered either for exhibition purposes or for sale. One was a 
burley, another a Green river, the third a one-sucker and the 
fourth a black wrapper. The burley was selected from a pur- 
chase of 1,500,000 pounds handled by D. W. Peed, of Paris. The 
Green river was put up by J. M. Vaughan & Co., of Owensboro, 
and was the best of their purchases of the 1903 crop, aggregating 
3,000,000 pounds. E. L. Hendrick & Co., of Bowling Green, 
furnished the one-sucker hogshead, selecting it from the entire 
1903 crop of this type. The black wrapper was selected from 
the best of the dark tobacco of their district by William H. 
Cummings & Sons Co., of Hopkinsville. 

The International Jury of Awards gave to Kentucky tobacco 
five grand prizes, fifteen gold medals, twelve silver medals 

65 



and eighteen bronze medals. This, in spite of the fact that 
every tobacco-growing State in the Union made the best display 

of which it was capable. And the list is 

Grand Prizes not complete for the reason that twenty- 

and Medals. two instead of fifteen gold medals, twen- 

ty-two instead of twelve silver medals 
and twenty-seven instead of eighteen bronze medals were really 
awarded by the jury, but, owing to a ruling that only one medal 
should be given an exhibitor in a given group, the number was 
correspondingly reduced, as several exhibitors had been voted 
two medals each. 

One of the five grand prizes was given to the State of 
Kentucky for the best exhibit of the kind in the entire twenty- 
four acres of displays in the building. It was marked 98 points, 
three more than necessary to bring it within the grand prize 
charmed circle.

At the close of the Fair the hogshead of tobacco purchased 
from Wm.H.Cummings & Sons Company,at 10 cents per pound, 
was bought back by them at the same figure. The other hogs- 
heads were shipped to Louisville and sold 
Salvage at public auction at the Central To- 

Very Heavy. bacco Warehouse, the price received being 

in advance of the market, thanks to the 
efforts of Mr. Campbell in advertising the sale in divers ways. 
The burley hogshead, which cost 15 cents a pound, sold for 33 1-2 
cents ; the Green river 1 1 cents, an advance of 3 cents over pur- 
chase price, and the one-sucker 13 1-4 cents, it costing only 7 
cents. 

The miniature tobacco farms, barns and warehouses were 
sold to the Canadian government and were taken to Montreal 
to be installed in a permanent agricultural exhibit. 

The salvage from the tobacco exhibit, including tobacco, 
cases, etc., was greater than that from any other Kentucky 
display. It amounted in cash to $1,199.71. The total cost of 
the exhibit from all sources — the Kentucky Exhibit Association 
fund and the State appropriation — was $6,177.05. The Chief 
of the Department of Agriculture, in making estimates for the 
guidance of Commissions as to the cost of exhibits, stated that 
past experience led to the belief that $5 per square foot should 
be set aside for collecting, transporting, installing, maintaining 
and returning exhibits. As Kentucky had over 4,600 square 
feet for tobacco, the exhibit should have cost on this basis over 
$23,000. Instead, it only cost $4,846.14. It is certain that so 
complete an exhibit was never before made at so small a cost. 
There was sent to the State Museum at Lexington from 

68 



the tobacco exhibit the series of photographic views and the 
signs used, which cost $131.20, and which amount is, therefore, 
credited on the net cost of the exhibit. 

A majority of the samples of leaf, as well as of the manufac- 
tured tobacco, were returned to exhibitors upon their request. 
W. B. Kennedy, of Paducah, made the Kentucky Society of 
St. Louis a present of his exhibit of leaf tobacco, and it made 
use of the samples in a smoker given during December at the 
annual meeting of the organization. 

Messrs. F. Wm. Hahn and E. A. Hail, of Louisville, were 
members of the Jury of Awards in the tobacco group. 



MINERAL EXHIBIT. 

C. J. Norwood, Superintendent; W. U. Grider, Assistant 
Superintendent. 

In no department of the St. Louis World's Fair where 
Kentucky had representation was the fact that the State ap- 
propriation had been well spent made more manifest than in the 
Palace of Mines and Metallurgy. At three different places in 
this building Kentucky presented a display of her rich mineral 
resources. 

Near the center of the building the general display of Ken- 
tucky minerals was made — the display that combined both State 
and individual effort. In location it was ideal, its 3,400 square 
feet of space facing on three of the main aisles of the building. 
Such a central spot, coupled with the attractive installation, 
brought it to the attention of visitors of all classes. 

Facing on three aisles, the exhibit had three entrances — an 
arch of cannel coal, furnished and installed by the Kentucky 
Block Cannel Coal Company, of Cannel City, Morgan county; 
an arch of white limestone from the Bedford-Bowling Green 
Stone Company, of Bowling Green, and an arch of terra cotta 
burned from clay furnished by the Waco Brick and Manufac- 
turing Company, of Waco, Madison county. All of these were 
specially designed for the Commission. 

The arches were connected by a three-foot wall of minerals, 
forming an enclosure for the exhibit. In this wall were used, in 
the approaches to the clay entrance arch, building brick, tiles, 
paving brick, fire brick, plain and decorated pottery, etc. ; in the 
approaches to the cannel coal arch were used both bituminous 
and cannel coal, and in the approaches to the stone arch, build- 

69 



ing stones and cement building blocks. Entering under any of 
the arches, the visitor beheld a most striking display, well classi- 
fied and well kept. 

If he were interested in oil and its future development he 
found a most worthy collective petroleum exhibit — crude petro- 
leum and the products distilled therefrom, from the several oil 
horizons, and above it diagrams of the wells, with records and a 
dissected geographical map. A close inspection showed him crude 
petroleum contributed by the Atlantic & Pacific Oil Company, 
Barbourville ; Howard Flanagan, Lexington; M. S. Baughman, 
Stanford ; C. P. Chenault, Frankfort ; Licking River Valley Oil 
and Gas Company, West Liberty; South Kentucky Oil Com- 
pany, Glasgow ; Caney Creek Oil Company, Lexington ; Stand- 
ard Pipe Line, Somerset ; Wolfe County Oil and Gas Company, 
Campton ; Licking Valley Oil and Gas Company, Lexington, 
and the Owensboro and Beech Grove Oil, Gas and Mining Com- 
pany, Owensboro. 

ilf his investigation turned to coal and coke, he saw in the 
cannel arch and in the wall of coal much to study. Stepping 
through this entrance, he faced many large blocks of coal, rep- 
resenting the different veins of Kentucky; he saw several full 

lines of broken coals, and his attention was 

Coal and directed to a very complete display of 

Coke. coke. He inspected a Campbell coal 

washer, with a capacity of sixty tons in 

ten hours, exhibited by the St. Bernard Mining Company, of 

Earlington. He saw the model of a mine car from the North 

Jellico Coal Company, of Wilton. Devoting still more time to 

coal and coke, he found the following exhibits : 

From Kentucky Cannel Company, Riverton, large blocks of 
cannel ; one block two feet two inches high, a section of a seam. 

From Louisville Property Company, Halsey, Whitley 
county, three blocks cannel and bituminous; two blocks cannel 
and bituminous, from Pineville, Bell county. 

From Empire Coal Mining Company, Empire, Christian 
county, block of coal three feet seven inches high, thickness of 
a seam, and broken coal. 

From Ashland Iron and Mining Company, Ashland, Boyd 
county, block of bituminous coal and coke and a section of a 
seam four feet thick. 

From Auburn Ash Coal Company, Fenley, Hancock county, 
broken coal. 

From St. Bernard Mining Company, Earlington, Hopkins

at Pineville, broken coal and coke. 

From Northern Coal and Coke Company, Ashland, column 
of Elkhorn coal eight feet two inches high, showing thickness of 
seam ; broken coal and coke. 

From Edward White, Clay county, broken coal. 

On each of these exhibits he found an analysis giving full 
and accurate information. 

Facing about and passing out under the cannel coal arch 
again to the aisle, the visitor stood before two more coal exhibits 
from Kentucky, installed in the Federal Coal display, collected 
by E. W. Parker, Statistician of the United States Geological 
Survey. One of these was a model of the mining plant at 
Eureka Mine, Madisonville, owned and operated by the Reinecke 
Coal Mining Company. This model covered nearly 600 square 
feet and was complete to the minutest detail. The other exhibit 
mentioned was made by the St. Bernard Mining Company, of 
Earlington, and consisted of a section of No. 9 coal, five feet six 
inches high, the thickness of the seam ; a section of No. 11, seven 

7i 



feet high, also the thickness of a seam, and a coal washing plant 
of Campbell washers, each having a capacity of sixty tons in 
ten hours. 

If the visitor, after examining the entrance, formed by an 
arch of clay, and the approaches of clay products, wished to 
pursue the study further, he had only to step within to discover 

a most exhaustive collective clay exhibit 
Great Showing of kaolin, plastic, vitrifying and refractory 
of Clays. clays — in all 114 clays, attractively dis- 

played in glass cases and in convenient 
corners ; he saw plain and decorated pottery, white and cream

Any visitor to the main exhibit could but look intently at 
the stone arch entrance and its closely allied approaches. At- 
tracted thus, he came within and found himself surrounded with 
stone displays that demanded attention. To his left there arose 

against the back partition of the space a 
Building column fifteen feet high. It was the re- 

Stones, production of a quarry of freestone for 

building, owned by the Rowan County 
Freestone Company, of Farmers, its nine seams ranging in 
thickness from four inches to twenty-eight inches. He next saw a 
tall glass case containing 118 samples of limestone and thirty- 
eight of sandstone — a collective State exhibit of building stone. 
Nearby, grouped into classes, he found twenty-three individual 
exhibits, as follows : 

Kentucky Freestone Company, Langford — Three dressed 
cubes of freestone for building.

inclosures and from the T. J. Sweeney Quarry Company, of 
Bowling Green. A line of building blocks was also shown in the 
inclosure from the Peter Ader Cement Building Block Company, 
of Newport. Other exhibits of this nature were concrete sec- 
tions of guttering made of limestone from Christian county and 
furnished by the M. H. Dalton Stone Company, of Hopkinsville, 
and concrete gravel from Calloway county, extensively used 
for road building, and exhibited by Judge G. N. Cutchins, of 
Murray. The only freak of the exhibit was one piece of lime- 
stone containing outlines of a human leg and foot, sent by John 
B. Frymer, of Frymer. 

The Kentucky display contained zinc ore and sphalerite 
from the Tevin Creek Mining and Smelting Company, of Owen- 

75

In one corner there was an asphalt display that was out of 
the ordinary, having in it asphalt rock from Edmonson county, 
exhibited by F. M. Sackett, of Louisville; a large slab and sev- 
eral broken pieces of asphalt, asphalt paving brick, crushed and 
refined asphalt and slabs from an old street, all furnished by the

of Newport, showed molding sands and castings ; the Kentucky 
Silica Company, of Louisville, silica, and the Peter Ader Cement 
Building Block Company, of Newport, sand, gravel and clays. 

One glass case was devoted to mineral waters, having ex- 
hibits from the following springs : 

Diamond Springs, Logan county, "healing water." 

Drennon Springs, blue sulphur.

iBlue Lick Springs, Blue Lick, "Queen of Health Waters." 

There were 138 samples of iron ore shown as a collective 
State exhibit, and in addition there was displayed by M. H. 
Crump, Bowling Green, ore from Edmonson county; by W. W. 
Simmons, Bardstown, ore from Nelson county; by M. E. Read, 
Scottsville, ore from Allen county ; by U. S. G. Tabor, Olive Hill, 
ore from Carter county; by Prof. S. S. Corby, Horse Cave, ore 
from Hart county. 

Edward White, of Clay county, sent for exhibition, salt from 
the wells of his home county. 

One of the unique exhibits was from L. A. McMurtry, of 
Burksville. It consisted of three small bottles — the original 
packages — of oil from the "Old American" oil well in Cumber- 
land county. This well, started September 10, 1827, was the first 
oil well in America. 

Collective State exhibits of onyx, marble, paint earths, pol- 
ishing earths, sands, silicious earths, road materials, fluor spar, 
barite, calcite, cement materials, salt, lithograph stone, lime, 
potash marl, asphalt rocks, etc., were also to be found in Ken- 
tucky's general mineral exhibit. 

W. U. Grider, of Bowling Green, for many years connected 
with State geological work under Prof. C. J. Norwood, of Lex- 
ington, Inspector of Mines and Director of the Geological Sur- 
vey, was in direct charge of the mineral display from Kentucky 
as Assistant Superintendent. Prof. Norwood was Superintendent 
of the exhibit, planned the display and directed the work of col- 
lecting the specimens and installing them. The clay exhibit was 
made a special feature and was placed under the supervision of 
W. F. Keates, of Owensboro, so far as collecting and installing 
it were concerned. J. E. Wright, of Louisville, and Prof. W. E. 
Burk, of Louisville, also ably assisted in collecting the exhibit. 

The Mineral Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit 

Association, which had entire charge of the work for eighteen 

months prior to the passage of the appropriation act by the 

>■ Legislature, had for its Chairman former Mayor Charles P. 

77 



Weaver, of Louisville, who gave close attention to the prelim- 
inary details of the work. The plans he laid were in a large 
measure carried out. 

The Mineral Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit 
Association was one of the first formed by that organization. 
Its personnel, with Mr. Weaver as Chairman, was as follows : 
C. J. Norwood, Lexington ; J. W. Blue, Marion ; Charles L. 
Searcy, Waco; I. Bailey, Madisonville ; Curran Pope, Louisville; 

W. E. Burk, Louisville; J. E. Wright, 
Gathering Louisville ; Joseph Huffaker, Louisville ; 

the Displays. J. C. Van Pelt, Louisville; Dr. James B. 
Steedman, Louisville; J. W. Cammack, 
Owenton; John H. Sale, Louisville; W. L. Crabbe, Eminence; 
W. U. Grider, Bowling Green ; Levi Bloom, Louisville ; Joseph 
B. Hoeing, Lexington; John C. C. Mayo, Paintsville ; P. W. 
Grinstead, Lexington ; P. Gait Miller, Louisville ; T. C. H. Vance, 
Louisville ; Hywel Davies, Kensee. 

In its make-up were represented the chief mineral interests 
of the State. Prof. Norwood, until the Exhibit Association work 
was merged into that of the Commission, was chief counsel of 
the committee, and Mr. Grider its field representative. Acting 
under the advice and direction of both Chairman Weaver and 
Prof. Norwood, Mr. Grider made a systematic canvass of the 
State, giving particular attention to all lines, excepting clay and 
petroleum. The latter exhibit, in the main, was procured 
through correspondence, and the former collected by Mr. Keates. 
Prof. Burk looked after the asphalt display. Much of the ma- 
terial used in building the enclosure of the exhibit was contrib- 
uted. The stone for the entire base came from the quarries 
owned by the City of Louisville, near the workhouse. The ap- 
proaches to the stone arch and the remainder of the stone wall 
were from the T. J. Sweeney Quarry Company. The Bedford- 
Bowling Green Stone Company, of Bowling Green, furnished the 
stone arch at a cost of $250 to the Commission, contributing 
$300. The cannel coal arch was erected by the Kentucky Block 
Cannel Coal Company, of Cannel City, the Commission only 
paying transporting charges and 25 per cent, of installation. 
The clay for the clay arch was a gift of the Waco Brick and Man- 
ufacturing Company, of W r aco. Its burning, however, cost over 
$500. The approaches to the coal arch were donated by the 
Kentucky Cannel Coal Company, of Riverton. The enclosure 
on the clay side of the exhibit was from P. Bannon Company, 

78 



Louisville; Louisville Fire Brick Works, Highland Park, and 
the Hydraulic Brick Company, Louisville. 

The State received a grand prize on

At the close of the exposition the stone arch was sold to 
A. H. Eilers, of St. Louis, for an entrance to a fashionable resi- 
dence park to be named "Old Kentucky Home Place." The 
clay arch was taken down, carefully packed and shipped to the 
State Museum at Lexington, along with the exhibit loaned by 
the State Geological Bureau, the clay, stone, petroleum, lead, 

zinc, fluor spar and asphalt exhibits, and 

Nucleus of the glass cases, geological map, etc., 

Permanent Display, there to be in the custody of the Director 

of the Geological Survey. The material 
filled two cars, and, because of careless loading, due to an 

81 



inefficient corps working under the General Service Company 
of the exposition, the cases reached Lexington in bad condition 
They have been repaired. The lettered blocks which formed a 
part of the cannel coal arch were also shipped to the State 
Museum. The mineral exhibit signs, the "Bureau of Informa- 
tion" and "Visitors' Register" signs from the Kentucky Build- 
ing, the tobacco and horticultural signs, together with several 
enlarged photographs from Edward H. Fox, of Danville, which 
hung on the walls of the Kentucky Building and in the agricul- 
tural exhibit, were also forwarded to the State Museum. 

A full line of the exhibit of lead, zinc, fluor spar, clays and 
asphalt was delivered to Dr. J. A. Holmes for installation at the 
United States National Museum at Washington, for which Con- 
gress has appropriated $3,000,000. A tolerably complete line of 
lead, zinc, fluor spar and cannel coal was given to a representa- 
tive of the Field Columbian Museum at Chicago, 111. Hand 
samples of lead, zinc, fluor spar and some clays were given to 
the Central University at Danville, Ky. ; to Ogden College, Bow- 
ling Green, Ky., and to the Southern Normal College, Bowling 
Green, Ky. Quite a number of samples of lead, zinc and fluor 
spar were given to representatives of other colleges from several 
States in the country. 

The two large sections of cannel coal from Morgan county 
were given to Dr. J. A. Holmes for installation in the United 
States National Museum in Washington. All of the bituminous 
coals on exhibit in the space were disposed of in St. Louis by 
the companies that contributed them. The sand exhibit of the 
Newport Sand Bank Company, together with the castings made 
in these sands, was delivered to Dr. Holmes for installation in 
the National Museum. The clay exhibit on block No. 20 was 
delivered in its entirety to Dr. Holmes for installation in the 
National Museum. 

On the whole, the distribution of the mineral exhibit should 
prove of great value to the State in after years. 

The head of Abraham Lincoln in clay from Waco, Madison 
county, the birthplace of the Hon. David R. Francis, President 
of the exposition, was presented to Mr. Francis by the exhibitor. 
C. L. Searcy, of Waco. 

The total cost of the mineral exhibit was $11,268.27. De- 
ducting $345.85, the salvage, there remains the net cost, $10,- 
922.42. Of this the State saves the exhibits and cases sent to 
the State Museum, which cost the Commission $5,944.79.

FORESTRY EXHIBIT. 

A. N. Struck, Superintendent; William Boa, Assistant Su- 
perintendent. 

The fact that Kentucky is one of the few remaining States 
where ruthless invasion has not yet destroyed the forests was 
duly exploited in Kentucky's forestry exhibit. 

The State made a display that ranked among the best in the 
building devoted to forestry, fish and game. Based on commer- 
cial lines, it appealed to everyone who was at all interested. 
There was no expensive facade of highly polished woods to at- 
tract attention, but, instead, an inclosure of logs arranged into 
a series of arches, with entrances from two aisles, which suc- 
ceeded in bringing visitors to the exhibit, and once near the 
exhibit, there was enough inside to claim inspection. The col- 
lection embraced displays from all parts of Kentucky — from the 
county which has no railroads or navigable streams, and whose 
exhibits were hauled across mountain roads to a freight depot, 
as well as from the county that has been opened to the world's 
marts. 

This forestry exhibit not only showed Kentucky's timbers in 
the rough and polished state, but hundreds of samples of the 
manufactured products. Within eleven hundred square feet, 
even utilizing the very aisle line, was crowded the exhibit of 
nearly fifty individuals, firms and corporations, so grouped as 
to be intelligently studied, so arranged as to make the work of 
the Jury of Awards an easy task. 

One of the first exhibits in the space to catch the eye was 
a full-sized log wagon, coupled and actually in use, for it bore as 
a burden three large logs, ten feet long — one each of oak, poplar 
and hickory — the timber used by the Kentucky Wagon Manu- 
facturing Company, of Louisville, in its manufacture of the 
wagon. This idea of showing the timber from which the product 
was made — an educational feature — was carried out as far as 
possible throughout the exhibit. 

Near one of the entrances, in a black frame, was a piece of 
yellow poplar veneer from the Chicago Veneer Company, of 
Burnside, Pulaski county. It was only one-eighth of an inch 
thick, but was six feet wide and twelve feet long. Near this 
was a tall pyramid of hubs, showing the different sizes made by 
the Hawesville Hub and Manufacturing Company, of Hawes- 
ville, Hancock county. 

J. F. Hillerich & Son, of Louisville, showed turned work 
and a large frame of baseball bats. 

83 



Hickory handles of all shapes and sizes rilled another large 
frame from Turner, Day & Woolworth, Louisville. A cabinet 
mantel, old mission style, with clock attachment, also adorned 
the wall. It was from the Voss-Cochran Mantel Company, of 
Louisville. 

An interesting display close by was that of the Anderson 
Box and Basket Company, of Henderson, consisting of market- 
ing baskets, crates, etc. 

The Ohio Valley Pulley Company, of Maysville, Mason 
county, had a full line of split wood pulleys on display — one of 
the few all-wood pulleys at the exposition, and they attracted 
much attention. 

Another exhibit that drew the public because of its being 
almost in a class by itself, only two others being catalogued 
throughout the entire fair, and one of them from France, was 
a piece of parquetry flooring from the Lanham Lumber Com- 
pany, of Lebanon, Marion county. 

The Swan-Day Lumber Company sent two lumber exhibits, 
one from Jackson, Breathitt county, of hemlock and poplar ; the 
other from Clay City, Powell county, of pine, poplar, hemlock 
and cucumber, together with a pine log. Another exhibit from 
Breathitt county was of oak veneers and lumber, contributed by 
the Kentucky Lumber and Veneer Company, of Robbins. 

Perhaps the most complete forestry 
Every Section exhibit from Eastern Kentucky, however, 

Represented. was that collected by J. R. Burchell, of 

Manchester, Clay county, and Editor 
James H. Eads, of the Enterprise, at Harlan, Harlan county. 
Of course they were separate and distinct. Mr. Eads sent 
chestnut, ash and walnut, while Mr. Burchell had Clay county 
represented by a large variety of logs and lumber. 

As an evidence of the wide range of territory from which 
the exhibits were drawn, the next display seen was from the 
Dunbar Mill and Lumber Company, of Bardwell, Carlisle county. 
In it were twelve sections of logs, each a different variety. 

An oak log, five feet in diameter, so cut as to show the dif- 
ferent grains and cross grains, was from the lumber yard of Fer- 
guson & Palmer, of Paducah. This was used daily by the 
Superintendent of the exhibit, Mr. William Boa, on which to 
demonstrate how quartered oak is taken from a log. This firm 
also made a display of ash and poplar. 

Poplar, ash and white walnut were shown by E. L. Davis 
& Co., of Louisville; plain and quarter-sawed oak, gum, etc.,

A Popular Entrance. 



by the Owensboro Lumber Company, of Owensboro; chestnut 
logs by Singler Bros., Campbellsville, Taylor county; oak 
veneers, poplar, oak, chestnut and maple by J. L. Berry, Louis- 
ville ; chestnut, poplar and quartered oak by L. Green & Son, 
Falls of Rough, Grayson county; poplar lumber by Burt & 
Brabb Lumber Company, of Ford, Clark county; maple, ash, 
chestnut and quartered oak boards by G. E. Moody & Co., 
Louisville ; cottonwood boards by William Boa & Co., Louisville, 
and red oak clapboards by Dr. Givans, of Big Clifty, Grayson 
county. 

The manufactured articles not before mentioned were ex- 
hibited as follows : 

Owensboro Lumber Company, Owensboro, whisky barrel 
staves. 

O. S. Bond, Vine Grove, Hardin county, railroad ties. 

Suwanee Spoke and Lumber Company, Kuttawa, Lyon 
county, spokes, neck yokes, etc.

hogshead staves, heading and hoops. 

Von Behren-Russell Company, Louisville, bent work, rims, 
shafts, etc. 

B. F. Avery & Sons, Louisville, plow beams and handles 
displayed on plank from which they are cut.

and implements. 

W. W. Hite & Co., Louisville, ash oars. 

W. H. Gillette, Louisville, carriage woodwork. 

Hale Lumber and Hoop Factory, Hickman, bundle of elm 
hoops. 

The Roy Lumber Company, of Nicholasville, was repre- 
sented by twelve specimens of lumber. 

A very creditable exhibit of post-hole augers was made by 
the Driskill Post-Hole Auger Company, of Paducah. 

There were two curiosities in the exhibit. One was a 
growth called twin oaks, sent by Thomas Spurgeon, of Jericho. 
The other showed a deer's horn imbedded in a block cut from a 
beech tree. It was furnished by V. M. Doolin, of Somerset, 
Pulaski county. 

In every available bit of wall space in Kentucky's forestry 

85 



exhibit could be found frames of natural wood. These were 
from the St. Bernard Mining Company, of Earlington, the col- 
lection representing over 125 different woods, having been made 
by the company's President, Col. John B. Atkinson. These 
frames gave a finishing touch to the exhibit that very much 
enhanced its value. 

No attempt was made to show fish and game from Ken- 
tucky, but a very worthy display of fishing reels was made by 
Frank Fullilove, of Owenton, Owen county, and a fountain 
aquarium was displayed by Frank Handorf, of Covington. 

It was not possible to crowd all of Kentucky's forestry ex- 
hibit in the east half of Block 24, and few States had more space, 
so Kentucky made an outdoor forestry display between the 
building and the Alaska pavilion. 

One of Kentucky's chief claims to distinction in her for- 
estry display was the width of the various pieces of lumber 
shown. This fact was commented upon by visitors from all parts 
of the country and many foreign lands. The strength of some 
of the State's timber was also remarked. Especially was this 
true of the hickory on display. 

It is due Mr. A. N. Struck, of Louisville, who, as Chairman 
of the Finance Committee on Lumber Firms and Corporations 
of the Kentucky Exhibit Association, helped raise money by 
private subscription for the exhibit, and who, as Superintendent 
of the Forestry Exhibit of the Kentucky Commission, helped col- 
lect and install the display, to say that but for his efforts the 
exhibit would not have been so complete and attractive. The 
Assistant Superintendent in charge of the display, Mr. William 
Boa, of Louisville, had supervision over the installation of the 
exhibit, and both in that and in its maintenance he showed 
marked ability. 

The Forestry Exhibit Committee of the Kentucky Exhibit 
Association was composed of A. N. Struck, Louisville ; Ernest 
Kettig, Louisville; Clarence Mengel, Louisville; Girard Alex- 
ander, Louisville ; Cecil Fraser, Louisville ; 
Gathering Gen. John B. Castleman, Louisville; 

Material. George H. Alexander, Louisville, with 

Mr. Struck as Chairman. He di- 
rected the work of collection and installation, choosing Mr. Boa 
as his assistant. Mr. Boa made two or three excursions into the 
State, arranging for exhibit material. His efforts were highly 
successful, as the display proved. 

Kentucky divided with Tennessee Block No. 24, each State 

86 



having the same amount of space. There was a marked dif- 
ference in the number of awards received by the two States. 
Tennessee made only one entry for award, it embracing the 
entire exhibit. The Kentucky Commission, on the other hand, 
in line with a policy pursued in every department of the exposi- 
tion, entered for awards all exhibits in the name of the exhibitor, 
believing that in honoring individual exhibitors the Jury of 

Awards would honor the State of Ken- 
A Deadly tucky. Kentucky was, therefore, awarded 

Parallel. five gold medals, eleven silver medals and 

seven bronze medals, while Tennessee 
had to be content with one award. While comparing Kentucky's 
forestry exhibit with others, it is apropos to quote from an arti- 
cle on "Forestry at the World's Fair," written by Alfred Gaskill, 
field representative of the United States Department of For- 
estry, in the September, 1904, issue of "Forestry and Irrigation." 
Two paragraphs extracted are as follows : 

"Kentucky — This State has a very good exhibit of hard- 
wood products. It is chiefly made up of samples from various 
industrial establishments arranged to show the special uses for 
which the more important woods are fit, and in this respect is 
interesting and valuable. The specimens are carefully labeled, 
though there is the usual confusion of common names." 

"Tennessee — This exhibit is almost without significance. 
A number of small wood samples make a show without telling 
anything, and some manufactured articles, cedarware, etc., 
though good and representing important industries, are set up 
with nothing to indicate why they are shown. Tennessee could 
and should have done better. She can even yet remove a num- 
ber of cross-sections of logs with longitudinal grain." 

The awards made Kentucky will be 

The Jury's found in the list below :

Seven important exhibits were evidently overlooked by the 
jury and a vigorous complaint was made, but without desired 
results. The jury had a large field to cover in a small space of 
time, and could not return to Kentucky's space for reinspection. 
The Chief of the Department of Forestry gave the Director of 
Exhibits of the Kentucky Commission able assistance in his 
endeavors to get a rehearing before the jury, but it availed 
nothing. This explanation is made in the interest of some ot 
the more important exhibitors found in the list of exhibitors 
whose names do not appear in the list of awards.

KENTUCKY'S FORESTRY DISPLAY. 




Where Variety and Widths were a Feature.

Dr. T. H. Bean, Chief of Forestry, paid Kentucky's exhibit 
a high compliment in a letter to the Director of Exhibits of 
the Commission. He wrote : 

"I have the pleasure of inclosing a classified list of the 
awards confirmed to the State by the Superior Jury. This of 
itself is an indication of the highly practical and satisfactory 
character of the illustrations of forest products brought together 
under your direction and under the skillful management of Mr. 
Boa. I heard it remarked many times by expert judges in the 
Forestry Building that the exhibit from Kentucky gave a thor- 
oughly comprehensive idea of the variety of its woods and of their 
manifold uses. I agree entirely with this opinion, and have 
called the attention of visitors to the unique installation of Ken- 
tucky times without number. The State has every reason to be 
proud of its forestry exhibit, which was far above the average 
of excellence in quality of products as well as method of installa- 
tion. It gives me very great pleasure to bear testimony in this 
way to the value of Kentucky's representation." 

Kentucky's forestry exhibit not only spoke an invitation to 
capital, which has subsequently given signs of acceptance, but 
it caused many young Kentuckians to turn their attention to 
the study of forestry. 

As was the case in all of Kentucky's exhibits, the Com- 
mission was importuned by colleges, museums, etc., in every 
section of the country to donate at the close of the fair a portion 
of the display for use in their halls. As it had been determined 

to send to the State Museum at Lexing- 
Given a ton the best of each exhibit, home inter- 

Future Value. ests were first considered. After this was 
done, it was decided to give several re- 
maining specimens to the Yale Forest School at New Haven, 
Conn., and the Iowa Agricultural College at Ames, la. Thus 
two entirely different sections were given permanent exhibits 
of the State's forestry products and resources. 

To the Iowa College there were given the following speci- 
mens : 

Seventeen sections of logs — black walnut, white walnut, 
hackberry, cherry, ash, box elder, sassafras, sycamore, red elm, 
white elm, cottonwood, white oak and willow — shown in the 
name of the State. 

Quartered oak and quartered oak veneer from Kentucky 
Veneer and Lumber Company, Robbins. 

8 9 



Red and white quartered oak veneer from Kentucky Veneer 
Works, Louisville. 

Plain sawed chestnut, quartered chestnut oak, plain syca- 
more and gray ash from Roy Lumber Company, Nicholasville. 

Black walnut, burr oak and white ash from a collection 
made by the Enterprise (weekly newspaper), of Harlan. 

Soft maple and Kentucky spruce from Swan-Day Lumber 
Company, Clay City. 

Cottonwood from Wm. Boa & Co., Louisville. 

Yellow poplar from L. Green & Sons, Falls of Rough. 

Sugar maple and quartered sycamore from J. L. Berry, 
Louisville. 

Red gum from Owensboro Lumber Company, Owensboro. 

Butternut from E. L. Davis & Co., Louisville. 

White oak plow beams and handles from B. F. Avery & 
Sons, Louisville. 

These were delivered to C. O. Garrett, representing the Iowa 
College. 

The specimens delivered to G. E. Clement, representing the 
Yale Forest School, were more numerous, consisting of : 

Twenty sections of logs — elm, sycamore, white ash, willow, 
butternut, basswood, black walnut, cherry, swamp ash, cotton- 
wood, hackberry, red bud, white poplar, white hickory and red 
gum — shown in the name of the State. 

Kentucky spruce and soft maple from Swan-Day Lumber 
Company, Clay City. 

Quartered post oak, quartered white oak and quartered 
white oak veneer from Kentucky Lumber and Veneer Company, 
Robbins. 

Gray ash, quartered chestnut oak, plain sycamore, chestnut 
and plain white oak from Roy Lumber Company, Nicholasville. 

White ash, plain burr oak and black walnut from Harlan 
Enterprise, Harlan. 

Sugar maple, quartered sycamore and quartered oak flitch 
from J. L. Berry, Louisville. 

Quartered red oak and plain red gum from Owensboro 
Lumber Company, Owensboro. 

Butternut from E. L. Davis & Co., Louisville. 

Cottonwood from Wm. Boa & Co., Louisville. 

Yellow poplar from L. Green & Son, Falls of Rough. 

Two hubs from Hawesville Hub and Manufacturing Com- 
pany, Hawesville.

Quartered red and white oak veneers from Kentucky 
Veneer Works, Louisville. 

Plow beams and plow handles from B. F. Avery & Sons, 
Louisville. 

As before stated, the most perfect specimens — highly fin- 
ished and polished — were sent to the State Museum at Lexing- 
ton. They numbered about fifty and represented thirty odd va- 
rieties. These specimens were especially sought after by field 
men of colleges and museums because of their remarkable 
widths. They will, consequently, form a most creditable nucleus 
of a permanent forestry exhibit. Several exhibitors asked that 
their displays be returned to them, which was done. The logs 
used in the inclosure were sold, and the railroad ties shown by 
O. S. Bond, of Vine Grove, were sold to the Louisville City 
Railway. The exhibit cost $2,439.67. The salvage amounted 
to $78.05, which leaves the net cost $2,361.62. The cost of 
gathering and finishing the specimens sent to the State Museum 
at Lexington was $119.08. 

B. C. Milam & Son, of Frankfort, and John J. Tully, of 
Louisville, made exhibits in the fish and game sections of this 
department. The former received a gold medal on fishing reels 
and the latter a silver medal on seines, nets, etc. 



EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. 

E. H. Mark, Superintendent. 

Before the St. Louis World's Fair, educators of the North 
and East looked upon Kentucky's school system as a hollow 
mockery, but the State's representation in this department at 
the exposition compelled a change of opinion. 

Kentucky's educational exhibit at the World's Fair was 
conceded to be the best the State has ever made at an exposition 
along this line. It was not possible to secure more than 1,100 
square feet in which to make the display, but every foot was 
utilized to an advantage. The only criticism to which the exhibit 
was open grew out of the necessity of crowding it into smaller 
space than the Commission had expected to secure. Especially 
in four particulars did the exhibit command attention, and these 
were manual training, kindergarten, blind and deaf and dumb 
work. Other divisions, however, did not suffer. The public 
schools, Catholic institutions, commercial branches and colleges 
were given due prominence, while the visitor was brought face 
to face with the results of mountain school labors. 

9i 



The entire exhibit was classified in a way that appealed to 
the exposition student who hunted things specific and not gen- 
eral. One side was devoted to public schools, another to the 
Catholic institutions, while the wall at the rear and back of the 
facade at the front afforded ample accommodation for the dif- 
ferent lines of work not otherwise taken care of in specially de- 
signed display cases occupying positions on the floor space. 
As in other buildings, Kentucky was fortunate in having a good 
location for her educational exhibit. About half way between 
two of the entrances to the Palace of Education, Kentucky 
fronted on a main aisle. Partitions separated her from her 
neighbors — Indiana on one side, Connecticut on the other. There 
were two wide entrances from the aisle, the remainder of the 
front holding three immense frames, bearing large photographs 
of Louisville schools, furnished by the Louisville School Board 
and made expressly for this exhibit by Photographer Hesse, and 
pronounced by many visitors the best photographs in the build- 
ing. This series of pictures gave exterior and interior views. 
Immediately on the inside — between the two entrances — were 
two cases given over to exhibits from the Kentucky School for 
the Education of the Blind. And here was found only a sug- 
gestion of what the institution, over whose destinies Dr. B. B. 
Huntoon presides, had done to help make Kentucky's repre- 
sentation at the World's Fair creditable. At two other places 
in the Palace of Education and at three in the Kentucky Build- 
ing the blind children of Kentucky displayed to the world their 
handiwork. The purpose of the exhibit was to set forth the 
character and scope of the work of totally blind children at 
school, and the various appliances perfected through the Amer- 
ican Printing House for the Blind at Louisville for their educa- 
tion. 

The exhibit under the latter heading, together with one twice 
the size of that in Kentucky's general educational display, was 
located in the blind section in the Educational Palace. The 
latest made embossed books were contrasted with those made 
sixty years ago, while maps, frames for teaching reading, multi- 
plication tables — up to twenty times twenty — script letter cards — 
sunk and in relief — to aid in teaching handwriting with a pencil, 
one of the most curious of the achievements of the blind, and 
various kindergarten material adapted to the sense of touch, 
coupled with beautiful relief maps, carved in wood, of the grand 
divisions of the globe, dissected into their respective political di- 
visions, and which the blind pupil learns to recognize by touch, 

92 



take apart and put together in order, all showed that the educa- 
tion of the blind is both a science and an art. This was the 
largest and most impressive piece in the entire aggregated 
exhibit of all the schools for the blind of the country united with 
those of the deaf. It consisted of a double-faced bookcase of 
black walnut, five feet high and seven feet long, on a table 
four feet high, surrounded at the base by six relief maps about 
four feet square. 

The school work of the totally blind pupils occupied six dis- 
play cabinets, six feet high by two and a half wide, with glass 
fronts, made specially of varnished cypress. Four of these cases 
belonged to the aggregate exhibit of the blind schools and deaf 

schools of the country. Two of them were 

Work of those mentioned as being in Kentucky's 

Blind Children. general display. These cases showed what 

the totally blind pupil actually does with 
his hands in his entire course, from eight to eighteen. The kinder- 
garten came first, with its paper mats, its rapid weaving, its ele- 
mentary sewing and its modeling in clay and wax. Here, too, 
was shown a new use for soap, easily worked by the knife, in 
the weak hands of the little blind child, into cups, saucers, wheel- 
barrows, etc. Next was the work of the primary class in their 
first efforts at word and sentence building, in their reading and 
spelling frames. 

Perhaps the most attractive portion of the exhibit was the 
case containing the work of the girls in crocheting, fancy sewing 
and knitting by hand and work from the sewing machine, while 
the profusion of lace and bright colors testified to their enjoy- 
ment of ornament, even though they cannot see it. 

In the other cases the work of the middle grades was shown. 
Here were maps, pricked out by awls in brown paper over cor- 
rugated boards, whose outlines and details compared favorably 
with the pencil work of normal children, and more remarkable 
when one noted that they were drawn upside down, and had to 
be reversed to be made true. Some of the modeling in putty of 
the continents in relief was fine. One boy had taken a wooden 
bowl and molded his hemisphere on the convex side. 

Alongside this was to be seen specimens of their abstracts 
of lessons in literature, their arithmetical and algebraic calcula- 
tions, their compositions and their exercises in harmony, through 
bass and counterpoint, all dotted down with the indispensable 
awls or stilettos, with which they have to pick and point their 
way to an education. 

93 



Among these were to be noted some of their work with the 
typewriter, in whose use they learn the subtilities of the English 
language and can transcribe the words of one dictating to them. 

Several specimens worked out in thin wood and in paper 
by the facile stiletto, of Huebald's musical notation of the tenth 
century and of the notation of Franco of Cologne of the thir- 
teenth century, testified to the interest taken in he history of 
music. Highly interesting, too, were the models of the actions 
of various kinds of pianos made by the totally blind, proving in- 
contestably their knowledge of the mechanical basis of the piano 
tuner's art. 

The cases filled with carpenter and sloyd and trade work 
of the boys appealed to those who admire practical results. Mops, 
brooms and cane work were shown in profusion, and the join- 
ings, mortises and useful articles made in wood showed that the 
totally blind can learn to handle the hammer, saw, plane and 
chisel with neatness and efficiency. This was practically shown 
in the pieces of furniture seen in the Kentucky Building — a work 
table of a light and graceful design, a lady's writing desk of neat 
workmanship and a blacking box outfit, all of black walnut. A 
relief map of Kentucky, seven feet by two and a half feet, dis- 
sected along county lines, and which some of the blind boys can 
take apart and put together, recognizing each county by touch, 
and naming its county seat, was an attractive piece of furniture 
from the school in one of the rooms of the Kentucky Building. 

Equally as interesting as the blind exhibit was the display 
from the Kentucky School for the Deaf at Danville, illustrating 

the work done in its manual training de- 
From the partment. This school was the pioneer in 

School for Deaf. the manual training movement in Ken- 
tucky, now recognized as such a desirable 
feature in the training of the youth of the State, and for over half 
a century every graduate has left its halls equipped with a knowl- 
edge of some useful handicraft. 

The display filled five large cases, one each from the 
dressmaking, printing, woodworking, tailoring and shoemaking 
departments. The case from the sewing department contained 
a beautiful and thoroughly up-to-date display of needlework. 
There were comforts and quilts, a dainty ball dress all complete, 
various artistic creations belonging to milady's wardrobe, arti- 
cles of embroidery, raised, white and in colors ; beading work, 
crochet work, drawn linen work and numberless things that 
woman's skill and taste can create out of the fruit of the loom.

KENTUCKY'S EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. 




Public School, Kindergarten and Mountain College Work. 




Manual Training, Deaf and Dumb and Catholic Institutions. 



The printing department had a case filled with samples of plain 
and fancy printing — books, pamphlets, catalogues, billheads, let- 
ter heads, stationery printing of various kinds, besides fine color 
and half-tone work. The position of honor in the center was oc- 
cupied by a copy of the school magazine, The Kentucky Stand- 
ard, then in its thirtieth year. 

The display from the tailor shop was a good one. There 
were suits and overcoats, fashionably made, of the newest fabrics, 
and bearing evidence of the most skillful workmanship. The 
piece de resistance was a natty little Norfolk suit. The shoe 
shop had a case filled with nice work in all grades, from Cin- 
derella's slippers and African brogans to the finer grades of work 
in white kid, black and tan. 

The woodworking department contributed some beautiful 
lathe work. There were turned balusters, door facings, Indian 
clubs, dumbbells, etc., in fancy woods, and intricate work de- 
signed to show skill, such as delicate goblets, cups, rings and 
many other novel articles. 

Several upright display cases of oak and cherry, beautifully 
finished, made in the carpentry and cabinet-making department, 
were used in the Kentucky Building for displaying fancy work, 
quilts, etc., from different sections of the State. The deaf school 
also had some hall and fancy chairs in oak and walnut. These 
chairs added much to the attractiveness of Kentucky's educa- 
tional exhibit, and especially appealed to the tired visitor. 

The Stewart Home, for the care and training of persons of 
backward mental development, at Farmdale, was also represented 
by four chairs in the display and eight at the Kentucky Building. 
They were "hickory rustics" and much admired. The Stewart 
Home also had on exhibition raphia baskets and fancy work done 
by its pupils. 

No more interesting display in the entire Educational Build- 
ing was made than that from the W. C. T. U. Settlement School 

at Hindman, in Knott county. It occu- 
Results in the pied two large showcases, and was a credit 

Mountains. both to the school and to Miss May Stone, 

of Louisville, who collected the material. 

There were various examples of weaving, sewing, basket work 

and manual training, together with crops from the children's 

gardens. 

Near the Settlement School display, two cases and a lot of 
wall space were devoted to the exhibit from Berea College. The 
woodwork and manual training department of this institution 

95 



gave courses and models. The agricultural department pro- 
vided diagrams and pictures illustrating its courses and lines of 
activity. The domestic science department was represented with 
diagrams of courses, pictures and actual work done in dress- 
making. There were also shown various publications of the 
school, books from some of the societies and a general plan of 
the college work. 

Two very large cases, especially designed and constructed 
for the purpose, were given prominent locations near the center 
of the space, and were devoted, one to the exhibit of the Louis- 
ville Free Kindergarten Association, the other to the Louis- 
ville Manual Training High School. 

The kindergarten display was conceded to be the very best 
in the Palace of Education. Arranged and installed by Miss 
Patty S. Hill, Superintendent, and Miss Finie M. Burton, As- 
sistant Superintendent, of the Louisville Kindergarten Associa- 
tion, the exhibit was the recipient of compliments from educators 
of every nationality. Perhaps one of the highest compliments 
paid the display was in the request of Miss Dopp, of the Chicago 
University, for four photographs of the exhibit, taken from dif- 
ferent points of view. She wanted these for a new edition of 
her book on manual work in elementary education. Miss Dopp, 
who is one of the most noted women in her line of work in this 
country, spent some time studying the exhibit, which shows 
actual results obtained from training the youngest girls and boys. 
The showcase stood seven feet high, and was five feet wide by 
seven feet long, giving Miss Hill and Miss Burton abundant op- 
portunity for making a creditable display. Six miniature rooms 
were furnished, respectively, as parlor, sitting room, bedroom, 
laundry room, kitchen and pantry. A larger space was given to 
a model playground, on which was shown in miniature every- 
thing with which children play. Opposite this was a street, show- 
ing telephone poles, street cars, lamp posts, mail boxes, etc. In 
inclosed space above was shown mounted work of all classes, 
while beneath, cut out of colored paper, was a frieze, six inches 
wide, of leaves of different trees, representing spring, summer, 
autumn and winter. 

The display case used for the manual training work from 
Louisville was of the same size and shape as the kindergarten 
case. Woodwork and metal work of endless variety testified to 
the wonderful training of the hand in the Louisville school. 
There were hundreds of samples of wood, foundry, forge and 
machine shop work and mechanical and freehand drawings.

Another most creditable display of this character was from 
Ogden College, of Bowling Green, which showed woodwork, 
carving and clay modeling. State College, of Lexington, also 
made a good showing of wood and iron work and mechanical 
drawings. 

In addition to the Louisville Kindergarten Association's dis- 
play, there were kindergarten exhibits from the Lexington and 
Frankfort public schools and from the Louisville Normal School. 

The exhibits made by the Catholic schools were among the 
best in the building. 

Nazareth Academy, of Nazareth, had five wall cabinets, an 
upright display case and a table for show- 

The Catholic ing off to an advantage its paintings, 

Institutions. sewing, mounted cards and bound vol- 

umes of students' work, collections of 
grasses and flowers, laboratory work, catalogues, etc. 

The Ursuline Sisters, of Louisville, had three wall cabinets 
and about ioo square feet of wall space in which to show to the 
visitors the photographs, drawings, paintings and bound volumes 
of class work from their academy. 

Sacred Heart Academy, of Louisville, had photos, drawings 
and paintings, while Mt. St. Joseph Academy, of St. Joseph, 
Daviess county, had pictures, drawings, paintings, geological 
work and bound volumes of students' work. 

St. Mary's Academy, of St. Mary's, Marion county, had one 
cabinet with thirty-three leaves, giving photos, students' work 
and literature. 

The public schools' representation was especially good. It 
was classified as follows : 

Public School of Hazard — Pictures. 

Public School of Kensee — Students' work. 

Lancaster Public School — Pictures and maps carved in 
wood. 

Lexington Public Schools — Pictures and bound volumes oi 
students' work. 

Louisville Graded Schools — Pictures, elementary grades and 
bound volumes of students' work. 

Frankfort Public Schools — Pictures and written class work. 

Stanford Graded School — Students' written work. 

Rural School of Woodlawn — Written work. 

Frankfort High School — Drawings, paintings and bound 
volumes of students' work. 

Hopkinsville High School — Pictures and written class work. 

97 



Louisville Commercial School — Written and typewritten 
exercises and freehand drawings. 

Louisville Female High School — Pictures, paintings, draw- 
ings and bound volumes of students' work. 

Louisville Male High School — Photos and bound volumes 
of students' work. 

Owensboro High School — Photos, drawings, paintings and 
bound volumes of students' work. 

Two normal schools had very worthy exhibits. The Louis- 
ville Normal School sent photos, drawings, paintings and a col- 
lection of rocks and fossils. The Southern Normal School, of 
Bowling Green, was represented by photos and class work. 

The colored schools of Louisville and the Western Negro 
School, of Owensboro, made a good showing, the former exhib- 
iting sewing and bound volumes of students' work and the latter 
photos, drawings, paintings and bound volumes of class work. 

The Spencerian Business College, of Louisville, and the 
Bowling Green Business College, of Louisville, made an excel- 
lent display of class work, pictures and bookkeepers' supplies. 

Central University, of Danville, had several bound volumes 
of the college paper and catalogues in the exhibit. 

More than a year was consumed in the collection of Ken- 
tucky's educational exhibit. Prof. H. G. Brownell, of Louis- 
ville, was the first Chairman of the Committee on School Dis- 
plays, working under the Kentucky Exhibit Association. When 
he resigned as principal of the Manual Training High School he 
tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Educational Com- 
mittee, and Prof. E. H. Mark, Superintendent of the Louisville 
Public Schools, consented to take up the task. After the Legis- 
lature made an appropriation to supplement the money raised 
by the Kentucky Exhibit Association, Prof. Mark was urged to 
continue the work he had so ably forwarded, and, consenting 
to do so, was appointed the Superintendent of the educational 
exhibit, having entire supervision over the collection and in- 
stallation of the display, without receiving one cent of compen- 
sation. 

The exhibit was maintained, so far as the Superintendent 
goes, in a different manner from the other Kentucky exhibits, 
the Commission seeking to give as many educators as possible 
the opportunity of seeing the exposition. There were, therefore, 
six different Superintendents in charge — William A. Lyle, of 
Danville ; W. P. Walker, of Louisville ; Fritz G. Cornell, of Louis- 
ville ; Miss Ida Moss, of Pineville ; Miss Dora Guetig, of Louis- 

98 



ville, and Miss Ella A. Shea, of Covington, each for a few weeks 
at a time. 

Every public school, every academy, college and university 
in Kentucky, was invited, early in 1903, to prepare an exhibit, 
more than 10,000 circulars being issued by the Educational Com- 
mittee of the Kentucky Exhibit Association, which had the fol 
lowing members : E. H. Mark, Chairman, Louisville ; H. V. 

McChesney, Frankfort; R. P. Halleck, 
All Schools Louisville ; W. H. Bartholomew, Louis- 

Invited, ville; F. Paul Anderson, Lexington; 

Dr. Chase Palmer, Danville; William 
Dinwiddie, Jackson; Dr. W. G. Frost, Berea; Dr. B. B. 
Huntoon, Louisville; Supt. M. A. Cassidy, Lexington; 
Supt. S. L. Frogge, Frankfort ; C. J. Crabbe, Ashland ; McHenry 
Rhoads, Owensboro ; T. S. Alley, Bellevue ; C. C. Cherry, Bow- 
ling Green ; Enos Spencer, Louisville ; Miss Pattie S. Hill, Louis- 
ville; Miss Emily E. Bracken, Louisville; Mrs. M. B. Tucker, 
Louisville; Dr. E. Y. Mullins, Louisville; Dr. Arthur Yeager, 
Georgetown ; Wm. J. McConathy, Louisville. 

The response to these circular letters was not satisfactory, 
and appeals were made through the medium of county, district 
and State meetings of teachers. The interest of the Bishop of 
the Louisville Diocese was enlisted to assure the participation 
of the Catholic schools, and the result was a most creditable dis- 
play from this source. 

The awards given Kentucky on her educational exhibit 
were disappointing in the extreme. It is true that the State 

was in competition with the leading edu- 
Awards to cational centers of the world, but the ex- 

Kentucky, hibit in many particulars equalled any in 

the building. Two gold medals, eight 
silvers and five bronzes were not as much as the display de- 
served. The list follows : 

Male High School, Louisville ; gold medal. 

American Printing House for the Blind, Louisville; gold 
medal. 

Female High School, Louisville; silver medal. 

iManual Training High School, Louisville; silver medal. 

Nazareth Academy, Nazareth ; silver medal. 

St. Mary's Academy, St. Mary's; silver medal. 

Ursuline Academy, Louisville; silver medal. 

State Board, Frankfort; silver medal. 

Western Colored School, Owensboro ; silver medal. 

99 



Spencerian Business College, Louisville ; silver medal. 

State Board, Frankfort ; bronze medal. 

Kentucky Institute for Education of the Blind, Louisville; 
bronze medal. 

Kentucky Commission, on elementary grades ; bronze medal. 

Board of Education, Louisville, on elementary grades ; 
bronze medal. 

Berea College, Berea, general exhibit; bronze medal. 

The American Printing House for the Blind, at Louisville, 
and the Kentucky Institute for the Education of the Blind, at 
Louisville, will receive, as collaborators, a copy of the grand 
prize diploma issued to the American Association of Instructors 
for the Blind. 

The Kentucky School for the Deaf, the W. C. T. U. Set- 
tlement School and the Louisville Kindergarten Association 
were certainly entitled to high awards. 

Dr. Howard J. Rogers, Chief of the Department of Educa- 
tion, writing after the exposition to the Secretary-Director of 
Exhibits of the Kentucky Commission, had this to say of Ken- 
tucky's educational display : "Very comprehensive and indi- 
cated in a positive way the progress of public education in the 
State of Kentucky and the excellent system of instruction which 
has been adopted. The exhibit of the public schools of Louis- 
ville was remarkably fine and compared well with the exhibits 
of other cities of the same size. Consider Kentucky exhibit one 
of the most interesting and attractive in our department." 

When the fair was over all of the exhibits were returned 
to the institutions which had sent them. The wall cabinets and 
bases used in displaying the exhibits were sold to the schools 
which had filled them. The exhibits sent by the Kentucky 
School for the Education of the Blind, at Louisville, and the 
Kentucky School for the Deaf, at Danville, toward which the 
Commission appropriated $800 and $300 respectively, will be 
kept intact by these institutions for future expositions at which 
Kentucky is to be represented. The School for the Blind used 
$314.08 and the School for the Deaf $194.01 in preparing their 
respective exhibits. This is exclusive of all installation, main- 
tenance and returning charges. 

The cost of the exhibit entire was $3,803.37, from which 
should be deducted the cash salvage, $568.31, leaving the net 
cost $3,235.06. This is still further reduced by return of blind 
and deaf exhibits and cabinet and base to the State Museum, 
the cost amounting to $528.09.

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

J. N. Harper, Superintendent; W. M. Shobe, Assistant 
Superintendent. 

With a soil that is well adapted to the production of a great 
variety of crops, it is invariably expected of Kentucky that she 
will make a good showing agriculturally, if she shows at all at 
an exposition. No surprise was occasioned, therefore, at the 
creditable and attractive representation the State had in the 
Palace of Agriculture at the 1904 World's Fair. 

To make the exhibit distinctive — not a mere display of corn, 
wheat and the like — was, however, no easy task. The attempt 
along new lines developed a problem that required many weeks 
to solve. That the solution came, and most happily, was proved 
in a glance at the exhibit. Leading the world in tobacco, it was 
easy to see that therein lay food for rich thought, but Kentucky 
had been allotted space especially for a comprehensive exploita- 
tion of '"the weed," and, consequently, this had to be eliminated. 
Other States were known to be planning distinctive exhibits. 
Mississippi was to show cotton as a predominating product ; Ne- 
braska, corn; Louisiana, rice; the Dakotas, wheat, and also so 
on through the long list. 

Then came the suggestion, "Why not make a feature of 
hemp for Kentucky?" Raising over 90 per cent, of the hemp 
of the United States, Kentucky could attract attention with a 
product others could not show, and, in addition, back it up with 
all the other products the sister States were preparing to display 
conspicuously. So this was how Kentucky happened to make 
one of the really distinctive exhibits of the Agricultural Building 
at the exposition. The crowds around the display all the time, 
asking questions about the long stalks and the bands of the fiber, 
attested the wisdom of having put into effect the suggestion. 

Kentucky's general agricultural exhibit occupied over 2,800 
square feet, in the south of block 120, dividing the block with 
her mother State, Virginia. A pagoda rose from the center, 
supported by high panels, leading to the four corners, within 
three feet of the three aisles, surrounding three-fourths of the 
exhibit. Its dome, artistically covered with hemp, in stalk, and 
the product ready for the rope factory, or kindred plant, bore as 
a crown a shock of hemp stalks, which reached into the rafters 
of the building, and which could be seen for hundreds of yards. 

"Hundreds of yards" in connection with the Palace of Agri- 
culture is written advisedly, as would admit all visitors who at- 
tempted to traverse the nine miles of aisles in this largest of all 
exposition buildings ever erected for one department. 

101 



The pagoda had a lining of hemp, the fiber being effectively 
worked into draperies that gave the whole picture an attractive 
tone. On either side of the four supporting panels, which were 
so constructed as to suggest massive arches, were displayed 
scores of samples of tobacco, corn, wheat, rye, oats, grasses, etc., 
each so arranged as to blend into the color scheme of the entire 
exhibit. Grouped at convenient points were large framed pho- 
tographs of the agricultural districts of the State, made especially 
for the exhibit by Edward A. Fox, of Danville. Several designs, 
including the fleur-de-lis, made appropriate through France's 
part in the transfer of the Louisiana territory, and American 
flags, crossed beneath the coat-of-arms, worked in different 
cereals, adorned the four posts in the space. The quarter circle 
of the dome, between the panels, gave the decorator an oppor- 
tunity to spell "Kentucky" out of cornstalk letters, while at sev- 
eral places "Ky." in monogram helped to bring prominently to 
the visitor's vision the name of the State that arrested his at- 
tention. 

The three approaches to the space beneath the central dome 
were utilized in displaying to advantage, in octagonal cases, 
seeds, soil and various products. Above each of these were eight 
transparencies, showing Kentucky scenes and scenery, lighted 
from the center by electric incandescent bulbs. The transpar- 
encies were loaned for the exposition period by Prof. C. J. Nor- 
wood, of Lexington, from the State Geological Department. In 
other glass cases were shown a large variety of Kentucky agri- 
cultural products. 

The wall, fifteen feet high, dividing Kentucky and Virginia, 
gave a place for displaying long grasses and forage plants gen- 
erally. One-half of this wall and seven glass cases were used 
by the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, of Lexington, 
for the best exhibits made at the exposition by an experiment 
station, thanks to the untiring efforts of Prof. H. Garman and 
Mr. George N. Keller, of the station, Prof. Garman having super- 
intended the collection and Mr. Keller the installation of this 
exhibit. The station showed fifty varieties of grasses grown on 
"the farm" and fifteen varieties of wheat, both in the seed and in 
the sheaf. Another interesting feature of the station's display 
was an entire case of insects injurious to fruit trees and staple 
products. Equidistant between the wall and the pagoda stood 
an obelisk, twelve feet high, made of the exposition year's blue- 
grass and orchard grass from the experiment station. The apex

was of ripened bluegrass, and the shades leading up to it formed 
the base, beginning with the grass in its green state. At one 
point the bluish tint that gives the grass its name could be seen. 
Later a visitor from Auckland, New Zealand, was given some of 
the bluegrass seed to introduce this grass in his home country. 
In this part of the exhibit the various stages of hemp culture 
and harvest were shown. These included the seed, the stalk 
intact, broken hemp and dressed hemp. The hemp-knife, the 
hemp-brake and the hemp-hackle also found a place in this 
picture. 

On one corner of the exhibit, where two aisles intersect, 
Wood, Stubbs & Co., a prominent Louisville firm, made an elab- 
orate display of seeds. On the opposite corner was to be found 
a large framed cereal display from Livingston county, done by 
hand, by Mrs. G. N. McGrew, of Bayou, wife of the Chairman of 
the World's Fair Committee for Livingston county. Near this 
were three monuments to the patience of their builder, J. M. 
Harper, of Louisville, which invariably attracted the attention 
of the children. There was a miniature house of cornstalks and 
an old-fashioned water-mill of wheat grains. 

Practically ioo different places were represented in this Ken- 
tucky exhibit. There were in all 242 exhibitors. Fifty-two of 
these showed tobacco, 108 corn, eighteen wheat, six oats, eight 
seeds, five hemp and the others miscellaneous.

Kane, Fallsburg; George D. Karsner, Lexington; J. W. Knadler, 
Valley Station; J. R. Summers, Salem. 

In addition to supplying all the hemp used in the decoration 
of the pagoda, W. J. Loughridge, of Lexington, was represented 
by several very fine samples of the fiber. Others showing hemp 
were M. F. Arbuckle, Silver Creek; H. A. B. Marksbury & Son, 
Lancaster; R. M. West, Lancaster; Banks Hudson, Lancaster. 
The hemp-brake on display was the property of Mr. Hudson, 
while the hemp-knife was sent by Mr. Loughridge. The hemp- 
hackle was loaned by Mrs. A. E. Miles, of Bardstown. All of 
these played a part in the daily demonstration of the culture of 
hemp, conducted by the Superintendent in charge of the exhibit, 
Mr. W. M. Shobe, of Bowling Green. 

A very fine exhibit of grasses was made by Mr. John B. 
Atkinson, President of the St. Bernard Mining Company, of 
Earlington. In it were included orchard grass, timothy, red 
clover and red top. Some interesting figures as to yield, etc., 
accompanied the display. J. A. Peake, of Glenville, sent in the 
greatest variety of products that reached the exhibit. His collec- 
tion included, in addition to corn and wheat, ten or twelve differ- 

105 



ent grasses, broom corn, popcorn, nuts of various kinds, penny-

Mrs. W. G. Daughtery, of Bowling Green, had on exhibition 
several bottles of grape wine. Two freak ears of corn were ex- 
hibited by J. S. Gasswiler, of Hart county, and Thomas Brothers, 
of Hartford. 

Ion B. Nail, of Louisville, former Commissioner of Agri- 
culture, was chairman of the Committee on Agricultural Exhibits 
until a month prior to the opening of the exposition, when he 
resigned. Prof. J. N. Harper, of the State Experiment Station, 
then took up the work and had entire supervision over the in- 
stallation of the display, which stood a credit to him and Ken- 
tucky. Mr. Shobe, the Superintendent, is a State College gradu- 
ate, and has been connected with the Experiment Station. 

As in other cases, the collection of the Agricultural Exhibit 
was spread over fifteen months, a year of which was under the 
Kentucky Exhibit Association. Mr. Nail, as Chairman of the 
committee, had for his associates in the work M. A. Scovell, Lex- 
ington; David Castleman, Pleasant Hill; H. M. Froman, Ghent; 
J. W. Smith, Glendale; Samuel Ewing, Owensboro; Dr. P. W. 
Foote, Irvington ; M. F. Johnson, Buechel ; Henry Nanz, Louis-

Advance Work. Gardner, Bardwell. He named sub-com- 
mittees in every county, and further ma- 
terially aided the work by getting an appropriation of several 
hundred dollars from the fund given to the Bureau of Agricul- 
ture. This was used judiciously, but, owing to the severe drouth 
of 1903, the results were not what were hoped for. However, the 
exhibits collected were exceptionally good and taken collectively 
made a display that was at once attractive and instructive, as 
will be shown by the awards received. The jury gave seventy 
medals to Kentuckians on this display. The awards were di- 
vided into eight golds, eleven silvers and 
Many fifty-seven bronzes. It was in this exhibit 

Medals Received, that the Kentucky Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, of Lexington, made such a 

107 



remarkable record. It received three gold medals and one sil- 
ver medal, and, as all four were under different groups, it was al- 
lowed to retain the total number. Out of the samples of to- 
bacco shown in this exhibit five got medals — three golds and 
two bronzes. The complete list is given :

Kentucky Experiment Station, Lexington, collective exhibit 
of dried forage and plants from Kentucky, gold medal. 

The winning of a medal by W. A. Towles, of Henderson, on 
bluegrass, proves that the Central Kentucky product may be 
grown successfully in the "Pennyrile" district. The corn upon 
which N. A. Coulter received an award was the result of fifty- 
nine years' endeavor to improve yield and quality. 

Young sons of G. W. Stroud, of Berry's Ferry, raised the 
corn shown in Mr. Stroud's name and upon which a medal 
was awarded. They are only thirteen and fifteen years of age. 

In acknowledging receipt of notice of award, W. T. Kane, 
of Fallsburg, wrote that a greater part of the exhibit upon which 
he received a medal was produced on land which has sold for 
less than $10 per acre, another evidence of the fertility of even 
Kentucky's cheap soil. 

Sam Brittian, of Fulton, made especially for President David 
R. Francis and displayed it during the exposition in Kentucky's 
space, one of the largest twists of tobacco ever shown. 

At the conclusion of the exposition the hemp kindly loaned 
by W. J. Loughridge, of Lexington, for decorative purposes was 
returned to him, as were the hemp bales exhibited by R. M. 
West, of Hyattsville, to Mr. West. 

The glass cases, glass trays, etc., used in the exhibit were 
forwarded to the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Lexington, subject to disposition by the Legislature. The excel- 
lent display made by the Experiment Station was returned to it. 
The very good exhibit of grains and grasses from Mr. John 
B. Atkinson, of Earlington, was given, upon its earnest solicita- 
tion, to the Imperial Japanese Commission, to be taken to the 
Land of the Rising Sun. The painting, "Kentucky Coat of 
Arms," done by Serrapaola, the Italian artist, was sent to the 

no 



State Museum, at Lexington, along with the enlarged photo- 
graphs from the studio of Edward H. Fox, of Danville. 

The corn exhibited in glass jars by G. Letterle & Son, of 
Harrod's Creek, was given to the University of Wisconsin for 
a permanent exhibit. 

The total cost of the agricultural exhibit was $4,847.38, 
which is reduced to $4,772.18 by a credit of salvage turned into 
cash amounting to $75.20. The display cases, etc., sent to the 
Agricultural Experiment Station and other property sent to 
the State Museum give an additional credit of $607.69 on the 
cost of the exhibit. 



HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT. 

M. F. Johnson, Superintendent. 

Kentucky made a horticultural display only through the 
months of June and July, while cold storage fruit was at its best. 
This exhibit occupied the south-half of block 18 in the Palace 
of Horticulture — a space of 1,100 square feet. This allotment 
was near the center of the building and accommodated over 
twenty long white tables, on which were placed rows of plates 
to the number of five hundred. Each plate held five apples or 
other fruit in proportion. 

Plans were matured early in 1903 for the collection of fruit 
to go in cold storage. Accordingly Mr. M. F. Johnson, of Fern 
Creek, President of the State Horticultural Society, was chosen 
Chairman of this sub-committee of the Kentucky Exhibit As- 
sociation and employed to canvass the more prolific fruit-grow- 
ing sections. This was done with a two-fold purpose — first, as 
stated, to procure a sufficient amount of fruit for cold storage, to 
enable the opening of the display with the beginning of the 
exposition and continue it up to the fresh fruit season ; and sec- 
ond, to arouse interest among growers so this fresh fruit season 
would meet the demands of the space. 

Mr. Johnson had the assistance of the following commit- 
tee in his work: 

For Eastern Kentucky — J. M. Garrett, Secretary State Hor- 
ticultural Society, Ft. Garrett. 

For Vicinity of Cincinnati — S. D. McVean, Alexandria. 

For Central Kentucky — H. F. Hillenmeyer, Lexington. 

For Kentucky River Region — Thos. L. Button, Bedford. 

in 



For Vicinity of Louisville — J. C. Hawes, Fern Creek. 

For Muldraugh's Hill Section — W. J. Lee, Pitt's Point. 

For 'Tennyrile" Section — Wm. Cook, Bowling Green. 

For Lower Cumberland — G. N. McGrew, Bayou. 

For "The Purchase" — O. Piper, Clinton, Hickman county. 

Mr. Johnson made several trips, having had the way paved 
for him through the distribution of thousands of circulars and let- 
ters of instruction bearing on the subject. The drouth of 1903 
seriously handicapped efforts in this direction and the canvass 
was successful only in a few places. It soon became apparent 
that the contributions of fruit for cold storage would fall far short 
of the requirements. Mr. Johnson was therefore empowered to 
make purchases of apples and pears in sufficient quantities. Prior 
to this, in the hope of supplementing the cold storage fruit, glass 
jars were provided growers in different parts of the State in 
which to put up the finest specimens available. The formulae 
furnished by the Pomological section of the Department of Agri- 
culture at Washington City proved utterly worthless, and in 
consequence Kentucky had no fruit in glass. By an expenditure 
of $10, the firmest of the fruit left over from the State Fair at 
Owensboro in September, 1903, was added to the selection in 
progress. Two months later found about ninety barrels of ap- 
ples, fully eighty per cent, of which had been purchased, in cold 
storage at Louisville. Thanks are due the Northern Lake Ice 
Company and the Louisville Ice Company for storing free in 
their cold storage warehouse the fruit collected. 

Following is a complete list of all horticultural exhibitors, 
including those whose displays were kept over from the State 
Fair and those from whom apples were purchased : 

Joseph Joyce, Valley Station ; Mrs. Mattie Peak, Glenview ; 
J. S. Bush, Bowling Green; J. C. Alexander, Bowling Green; 
J. C. Thompson, Madisonville ; John W. Miller, Lancaster ; Thos. 
L. Button, Bedford; George T. Baldwin, Cairo; A. A. Niles, 
Cairo; Chipps Bros., Bayou; G. W. Stroud, Berry's Ferry; P. M. 
McGrew, Berry's Ferry; W. R. King, Berry's Ferry; F. D. Lay, 
Bayou; W. Sharp, Joy; G. N. McGrew, Bayou; James Carter, 
Glendale; H. R. Whiteside, Louisville; Miss Clara Williams, 
Henderson; N. B. Johnson, Buechel; J. C. Hawes, Buechel; J. 
P. Lightfoot, Livia ; Richard Miller, Richardsville ; W. F. Miller, 
Richardsville ; J. W. Knadler, Valley Station; Rev. E. McCul- 
lem, Henderson; Letcher Robinson, Henderson; W. A. Hug- 
gins, Cave City; S. R. Carmack, Madisonville.

KENTUCKY'S EXHIBITS.

Entrance to Educational Exhibit. 



The larger purchases of apples were from the following: 
Geo. T. Baldwin, 20 barrels; H. R. Whiteside, 32 barrels; G. N. 
McGrew, 14 barrels; G. W. Stroud, 10 barrels. Each of these 
gentlemen contributed one barrel, with the exception of Mr. 
Whiteside, who donated five barrels. 

With enough fruit on cold storage to give assurance that 
the display would be creditable for at least two months, the at- 
tention of Mr. Johnson was directed toward concentrating in- 
terest of the growers in the fresh fruit period to come after cold 
storage apples and pears had been exhausted. The failure of 
the attempt to preserve certain of the smaller fruits in glass and 
the conditions which forced a purchase of practically all of the 
fruit for cold storage were discouraging, but these only had a 

tendency to increase the endeavor. Three 

Cold Storage long trips were made in the early months 
Fruit. of 1904, but the interest awakened was 

only passive, and a month before the date 
set for opening the exposition the Commission determined to 
abandon further efforts in this direction. The lack of interest 
on the part of the fruit growers of the State and their failure to 
appreciate the value of this opportunity were a distinct disap- 
pointment to the Commission. 

The fruit in refrigeration in Louisville, having been for- 
warded to St. Louis and stored there in February, it was later 
decided to open the exhibit for two months, with Mr. Johnson 
in charge. Between April 30 and July 1 apples and pears were 
shown to a good advantage on the tables of Kentucky's space, 
but the inaccessibility of the Palace of Horticulture — it stood 
back of the Agriculture Building, far removed from the main 
picture of the World's Fair — which kept the number of visitors 
to the building down below even the minimum of any other 
exhibit palace, rendered the money expended on the display the 
least productive of results of all exhibits installed in Kentucky's 
name. All exhibitors in the building recognized this serious 
drawback, and it is safe to say that future expositions will place 
the Palace of Horticulture between two important buildings 
rather than to obscurely locate it. 

During the two months in which Kentucky made a horticul- 
tural display, only four shipments of fresh fruit were received 
from the State, in spite of the Commission's solicitation and the 
offer to pay all charges. They came from J. P. Lightfoot, Livia, 
containing strawberries; Thos. L. Button, Bedford, containing 

113 



strawberries and cherries; Luther Foley, Lexington, contain- 
ing strawberries, and from a Stanford strawberry grower, whose 
name the express label did not disclose. 

The varieties of cold storage apples included wine saps, 
genets, Green River, Shockley, Ben Davis, black twig, mammoth 
black twig, winter Pearmain, Wolf River, etc. Five barrels of 
the apples were distributed among guests attending the recep- 
tion in honor of delegates to the World's Press Parliament in 
the Kentucky Building in May. This proved a big advertisement 
for Kentucky apples, and on Kentucky Day five more barrels 
were served to visitors at the Kentucky Building. Kentucky 
apples began to be talked about so much that other State Com- 
missions followed the example. 

Superintendent Johnson entered for awards the fruit sent 
by twenty exhibitors, and sixteen of these were awarded medals 
as follows : 

Kentucky Commission, entire collection of fruit, silver 
medal. 

G. N. McGrew, Bayou, apples, silver medal. 

Gav. Norment, Henderson, apples, silver medal. 

Letcher Robinson, Henderson, apples, silver medal. 

Miss Clara Williams, Henderson, apples, silver medal. 

Kentucky Horticultural Society, exhibit of fruit, bronze 
medal. 

J. C. Hawes, Buechel, apples, bronze medal. 

W. A. Huggins, Cave City, apples, bronze medal. 

N. B. Johnson, Buechel, apples, bronze medal. 

J P. Lightfoot, Livia, strawberries, bronze medal.

Thos. L. Button, Sulphur, exhibit of fruit, bronze medal. 

Chipps Bros., Bayou, apples, bronze medal. 

S. R. Carmack, Madisonville, apples, bronze medal. 

Expenditures in connection with the collection, installa- 
tion and maintenance of the horticultural exhibit amounted to 
$1,644.16. This is the sum of expenditures from the fund of 
the Kentucky Exhibit Association and from the State appropria- 
tion. The salvage from the exhibit — sale of tables, plates, etc. — 
figured up to $301.95, leaving the net cost of Kentucky's fruit 
exhibit $1,342.21. The sign used in the exhibit was sent at 

114 



the close of the exposition to the State Museum for future use, 
which entitles the exhibit to an additional credit of $5. 

Mrs. Mary R. B. Day, of Frankfort, was a member of the 
Jury of Awards in this department. 



LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT.

Five premier championships. 

Five grand championships. 

Five reserve grand championships. 

Four senior championships. 

Four reserve senior championships. 

Five junior championships. 

Six junior reserve championships. 

•Ninety-nine first prizes. 

Seventy-four second prizes. 

Fifty-six third prizes. 

Thirty-four fourth prizes. 

Twenty-one fifth prizes. 

In cash — $21,646. 

Silver trophy — value $200. 

This, in brief, tells the story of the triumphs of Kentucky's 
live stock at the World's Fair. 

Quoting from a letter from the chief of the department, 
Col. Chas. F. Mills: "Kentucky, with one exception, received 
more premier championship honors for exhibits of horses than 
any other State or Nation. Your Commission and the State are 
to be congratulated on representing such a splendid lot of stock." 

The Commission at its second meeting appropriated $7,500 
to encourage exhibits of live stock from Kentucky at the ex- 
position. The resolution stipulated that the money was to be 
used in duplicating premiums won by Kentucky-owned stock 
and confined to horses, asses, mules, cattle, sheep, swine and 
Angora goats, and in case more than $7,500 should be won 
from the exposition, the said $7,500 should be pro rated. 

The board unanimously chose Mr. J. B. Bowles as Com- 
missioner in charge of live stock, and Mr. Bowles forthwith an- 
nounced the following committee to assist him : 

On Thoroughbred Horses — Sanford C. Lyne, Brannon. 

On Saddle Horses — John B. Castleman, Louisville. 

On Cattle — Abram Renick, Winchester. 

115 



On Trotters — J. L. Druien, Bardstown. 

On Other Classifications — E. R. Bagby, Bowling Green; 
M. A. Scovell, Lexington. 

Mr. Bowles at once, following the making of the appropria- 
tion, began a systematic canvass, by mail and in person, of the 
live stock men to get as complete representation as possible. 
The winnings show the success of his efforts. It is doubtful if 
there has ever been a more valuable lot of show animals gotten 
together. The list included the $50,000 thoroughbred stallion, 
Ornament; the famous thoroughbred mare, May Hempstead, 
who won the Tennessee Oaks ; Emily, of Columbian Exposition 
fame; the two saddle stallions, Montgomery Chief and Wood- 
ford Chief ; Gypsey Queen and Silver King. 

The horse show was in August, the cattle show in Septem- 
ber and the sheep and swine show in October. There were 
entries in almost every classification from all over the world.

case of Gypsey Queen, who belongs to Thos. W. Lawson, of 

Boston. This fact reduces something over a hundred dollars 
the actual total. The table below shows :

Some of the greatest honors achieved by Kentucky's studs 
had no cash value. The State received three premier champion- 
ships for exhibitors, determined by the largest aggregate 
amounts won in their respective classifications, and two premier 
championships for breeders, won on the breeding of the animals 
capturing premiums. Reserve championships, whether grand, 
senior or junior, carry no money with them, but diplomas, that 
are much sought after. Herewith is a list of the awards of the 
nature described: 

THOROUGHBREDS. 

H. P. Headley, Lexington, premier championship for ex- 
hibitor, premier championship for breeder, one reserve grand 
championship, two reserve senior championships, one reserve 
junior championship. 

Geo. C. Graddy, Versailles, one reserve grand championship. 

W. T. Wilmore, Lexington, one reserve junior champion- 
ship. 

SADDLE HORSES. 

Ball Bros., Versailles, premier championship for exhibitor, 
one reserve junior championship. 

Gay Bros., Pisgah, premier championship for breeder, one 
reserve grand championship, one reserve senior championship. 

Saunders P. Jones, Louisville, one reserve grand champion- 
ship. 

J. Gano Johnston, Mt. Sterling, one reserve senior cham- 
pionship. 

MORGAN HORSES. 
L. L. Dorsey, Anchorage, premier championship for ex- 
hibitor, one reserve junior championship. 

STANDARD TROTTERS. 
J. Granville Cecil, Jr., Danville, one reserve grand cham- 
pionship, one reserve junior championship. 

JACKS AND JENNETS. 

J. M. Terry, Cynthiana, one reserve junior championship. 

In addition to these Kentucky exhibitors were frequently 
given the sixth and seventh premiums, with no cash value, but 
known as "Highly commended" and "Commended/' No record 
was kept of these.

tucky's winnings, because it shows

The Commission did not include poultry and pigeons in its 
appropriation for duplication of premiums, hence they do not fig- 
ure in the second column of the above table. 

The original scope of the work of the Kentucky Exhibit 
Association embodied an exhibit of live stock, and L. L. Dorsey, 
of Anchorage, was placed at the head of a committee for the 
purpose of awakening interest among breeders. He named the 
following as his associates on a State committee : 

T. L. Hornsby, Eminence; James Taggart, Finchville; J. 
W. O'Bannon, Louisville; W. H. Giltner, Eminence; D. L. 
Moore, Harrodsburg; J. L. Shallcross, Anchorage; S. De Rid- 
der, Prospect ; F. G. Hogan, O'Bannon ; M. A. Scovell, Lexing- 
ton; J. H. Good, Louisville; R. H. Young, Louisville; David 
Castleman, Pleasant Hill; John T. Hughes, Lexington; W. T. 
Chilton, Campbellsburg ; George Graddy, Versailles. 

Chairman Dorsey also appointed sub-committees on each 
classification of stock, selecting from the State Committee the 
chairmen for these sub-committees. It was Mr. Dorsey's plan for 
the association to bear a portion of expenses incurred by ex- 
hibitors. Breeders all over the State were communicated with 
on the subject and several engagements of stalls were booked. 

Commissioner Bowles favored duplicating premiums, and 
this suggestion proved very popular. 

The only cost of the live stock exhibit, beyond the $7,500 
given in premiums, was $326.89. 

The jurors serving in the department of live stock, appointed 

121 



from Kentucky, were: On thoroughbreds, John B. Castleman, 
Louisville; saddle horses, C. T,. Railey, Lexington; cotswold 
sheep, J. Hal Woodford, Paris. C. Cann, of Georgetown, acted 
as judge on the "Colonel Mills' Championship," a consolation 
saddle ring on the last day of the horse show. There were no 
Kentucky entries in this ring for the reason that Kentucky ex- 
hibitors were fit subjects for congratulation and not consolation. 
Kentucky had two entries in the dairy test, which con- 
tinued for 120 days. The competition was between Jerseys, Hol- 
stcins, Brown Swiss and Shorthorns, twenty-five cows of each 
class being entered. The Jerseys won. Both entries from Ken- 
tucky were Jerseys — Airy's Vinie Hugo 177866, owned by J. 
H. Otter, of Danville; and Rosa's Glory 157795, owned by W. 
L. Scott, of Shelbyville. During the test the former gave 5,437 
pounds of milk and the latter 4,923 pounds. Being in the herd 
of Jerseys, which won, these Kentucky cows are prize winners. 



FINE ARTS EXHIBIT 

Marvin Eddy, Superintendent. 

The walls of the Kentucky Building were hung with nearly 
two hundred paintings, the works of Kentucky artists, a collec- 
tion made by Mr. Marvin Eddy, of Louisville, who accepted the 
position of Superintendent of Fine Arts for the Commission 
early in March, and performed the duties of the place most ac- 
ceptably and without compensation. These pictures were valued 
by the artists at amounts ranging from $12 to $5,000, the col- 
lection embracing the works of painters who made a reputa- 
tion early in the Nineteenth century, as well as of those who 
won their way to public attention at the close of the century 
and the beginning of the Twentieth. More than usual attention 
was attracted to the following, partly because of their subjects : 

Portrait of Henry Clay, by Matthew Jouett (deceased). 

Portrait of Justice George Robertson, by Gen. S. W. Price 
(deceased). 

Portrait of W. N. Haldeman, by John A. Muckelbauer, of 
Louisville. 

Portraits of Daniel Boone, Gen. John C. Breckinridge and 
Col. McDowell, by Nicola Marshall, of Louisville. 

Portrait of Judge Samuel S. Savage, by Miss Elizabeth 
Henderson, of New York City.

The Ursuline Sisters of Louisville displayed a number of 
praiseworthy paintings and crayons. One of the remarkable of- 
ferings was a large wood carving, "Sprays of Kentucky Oaks," 
done by J. E. Bryan, of Jeffersontown. 

A collection of enlarged photographs from the studio of Ed- 
ward H. Fox, of Danville, included the home of Gen. Tom Ken- 
nedy, in Garrard county, where Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe 
laid the opening scene of "Uncle Tom's Cabin ;" Kentucky's first 
State House at Danville, and Gov. Owsley's residence near Dan- 
ville. A large oil painting of "Dictator," the famous horse, done 
by W. Th. Eilerts, and loaned by R. P. Samuell, Jr., of New- 
castle, had a commanding position, while an enlarged photo- 
graph of "Rhythmic," the champion blind stallion, showing the 
horse in a sulky with all four feet off the ground, attracted its 
share of attention. Among the other pictures were a crayon of 
Lillian Rozell Messenger, large photographs of Agnes Leonard 
Hill and Mrs. Kate Slaughter McKinney, all Kentucky authors ; 
water color by Anna Coyle, of Bardstown; pastels by Misses 
Ruth C. Mann, Bessie Gregg, Mary Thompson, Catherine 
Grigsby, all of Bardstown ; a crayon by Miss Mary E. Singleton, 
of Henderson ; a charcoal by Miss Louise Montfort, of Bards- 
town. Numerous pieces of pyrography were displayed by James 
M. Carothers, of Bardstown; Miss M. C. Raines, of Maysville; 
Mrs. M. P. Grinstead, of Richmond, and Miss Loretto Griffin, 
of Somerset. A china closet and two cases were filled with dec- 
orated china, done by Miss May E. Ware, of Hopkinsville ; Miss 
Loretto Griffin, of Somerset; Miss Sallie Elkin, of Lancaster; 
Miss Mamie Read, Louisville; the Sisters of Loretto, Loretto; 
Ursuline Sisters, Louisville. 

In the center of the first floor of the building stood a statue 
of George Rogers Clark, by J. L. Roop, sculptor, of Louisville. 

124 



It was loaned for the exposition period by K. B. Grahn, pro- 
prietor of the Louisville Fire Brick Works, and stood on a 
pedestal of Kentucky burned clay from Mr. Grahn's plant. An- 
other piece of work from a sculptor was a model of the old Mor- 
rison Chapel of Kentucky University at Lexington, done by 
Isaac Hathaway, colored. 

At the close of the fair Mr. Grahn presented the statue, 
through John O'Fallon Clark, to the St. Louis Museum, which 
will place it in the Fine Arts Building. 

An interesting collection of enlarged photographs was fur- 
nished by Dr. J. R. Burchell, of Manchester; Caldwell College, 
Danville; Central University, Danville; J. S. Owsley, Owens- 
boro; E. E. Owsley, Owensboro; the L. & N. R. R., of Mam- 
moth Cave views, and the L., H. & St. L. Railway of the battle- 
ship Kentucky. Mr. Bryan, who made the display of oak carv- 
ings, has indicated his intention of giving this work of the wood 
carver's art to the new State Capitol. Three brass casts, made by 
Dan Galvin, of Paducah, attracted a great deal of attention. 
Foundrymen were especially interested, as each cast was in a 
single piece and showed skillful work. Two were models of the 
"Old Oaken Bucket" and one a model of "My Old Kentucky 
Home." 



WOMAN'S WORK AND RELICS. 

Mrs. W. B. Carothers, Superintendent. 

The exhibit of Woman's Work and Relics was another in- 
teresting feature of the Kentucky Building. It was collected, 
installed and looked after during the exposition by Mrs. W. B. 
Carothers, of Bardstown, who performed her duties faithfully. 
These displays were to be found in both upright and flat show 
cases and it was necessary to resort to the use of the walls to 
accommodate everything. The woman's work displays included 
linen pieces, embroideries, battenbergs, montmellicks, silk quilts, 
crochet work, hand-painted satin, point lace, velvet quilts, bead 
work, rag carpets, blankets, flannels, home-made linseys, yarns, 
silk twists, hair wreaths, fish scale wreaths, seed wreaths, knit- 
ted hose and mitts, samplers, table covers, cover lids, counter-

county; Mrs. Howard Wiseheart, Samuels; Julia Coomes,

quilt exhibited by Miss Singer contained 122,616 pieces. 

It would be hard to estimate the value of the relics dis- 
played. Mrs. Mary B. Clay, of Richmond, loaned her wonderful 
collection, made up principally of old and odd bits from the 
home of Gen. Cassius M. Clay, in Madison county, among them 
the court dress worn by Mrs. Clay when she was presented to 
the Czar of Russia during Gen. Clay's ministry there, and a let- 
ter from Letitia Breckinridge, the mother of John C. Breckin-

Kentucky. There were on display several Abraham Lincoln

WHISKY EXHIBIT. 

The Commission did not make an exhibit of whisky, but 
secured space for a collective display, in which nine firms were 
represented, each paying its pro rata of the cost. Two of the 
number — S. Grabfelder & Co. and D. Sachs & Sons, both of 
Louisville — did not enter the competition, the latter because of 
an accident, the breaking of a glass shelf in their case, which 
shattered several of their bottles, and the former because Samuel 
Grabfelder, the head of the firm and a member of the Commis- 
sion, had stated before a meeting of the Commission that he 
would not enter. An attempt was made by what is known to 
the trade as "straight whisky" distillers to prevent the installa- 
tion of what is known to the trade as "blended goods." At the 
meeting of the Commission when the question was considered 
Mr. Grabfelder announced that he was not displaying his 
whisky, either bottled-in-bond or blended, for an award. Mr. 
Grabfelder directed the collection of the exhibit. 

All the other firms received awards, as shown below : 

Green River Distilling Company, Owensboro, whisky, grand 
prize. 

Old Times Distilling Company, Louisville, whisky, grand 
prize. 

Greenebaum Bros., Louisville, whisky, gold medal. 

Hoffman, Ahlers & Co., Louisville, distilling apparatus, 
gold medal. 

Pfeiffer Bros., Louisville, whisky, gold medal. 

Wright & Taylor, Louisville, whisky, gold medal. 

Middlesboro Distilling Co., Middlesboro, corn whisky, sil- 
ver medal. 

All of the exhibits and cases were turned over to exhibitors 
after the fair. 

The plans of the Kentucky Exhibit Association originally 
contemplated a more extensive whisky exhibit, and a commit- 
tee, consisting of Marion E. Taylor, Chairman, Louisville; H. 
E. Pogue, Maysville ; James E. Pepper, Lexington ; Jack Beam, 
Early Times; J. W. McCulloch, Owensboro; Carey Applegate,

sion the display assumed the shape mentioned and the results 
were in every way satisfactory. Mr. Thos. Moore, of Bardstown, 
was one of the jurors on whisky exhibits. 



PHYSICAL CULTURE. 

In the Olympic games during the World's Fair Kentucky 
had six representatives, who acquitted themselves with honor 
to their State and to themselves. During Y. M. C. A. week — 
August 15 to 20 — N. J. Cartmell, of Louisville, won the 220 yards 
championship and was second in the 100 yards championship. W. 
B. Hunter, of Louisville, won the broad jump championship; 
was third in both the 100 yards championship and the 220 yards 
championship ; won the 100 yards, 220 yards and broad jump 
handicap events. C. L. Dodd, of Louisville, was second in the 
two-mile handicap. Jack Peters, T. Girdler and John Straus, all 
of Louisville, also appeared in the Y. M. C. A. week programme. 

In the Olympic games — August 29 to September 3 — Cart- 
mell was second in the 100 meter and 200 meter championship 
events. Hunter and Peters also appeared in this programme. 

The Louisville schools and the Kentucky University, of 
Lexington, made displays of trophies in the Department of 
Physical Culture, the former winning a bronze medal on its 
trophies. 



MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS. 

The Kentucky Commission, in every way possible, sought 
to encourage the making of exhibits by large producers who pre-

THE KENTUCKY EXHIBIT ASSOCIATION. 

The story of the Kentucky Exhibit Association is an essen- 
tial part of any report of Kentucky's participation in the Lou- 
isiana Purchase Exposition. It was, in a very important sense, 
quite as much a demonstration of the resources of the State as 
any exhibit at St. Louis, for such public spirit as led to its or- 
ganization is a resource of value to any community. 

When the General Assembly in 1902, on account of the 
condition of the State Treasury at that time, declined to make 
an appropriation to give Kentucky representation at the St. Louis 
World's Fair, a call was issued to citizens of the State to meet in 
Louisville and take steps to make good the omission. This meet- 
ing was held May 28, 1902, and the organization then begun was 
completed the following October. The association was regu- 
larly incorporated November 5, 1902, the following gentlemen

being named as incorporators : S. S. Savage, Ashland ; R. C. 
Ford, Middlesboro; Chas. P. Weaver, Marion E. Taylor, D. B. 
G. Rose, Samuel Grabfelder, W. H. Newman, Chas. B. Norton, 
Sam P. Jones, A. Y. Ford, Clarence Dallam, T. L. Jefferson, 
John L. Dunlap, R. M. Kelly, Jr., A. N. Struck, C. H. Hunger- 
ford, R. E. Hughes, Logan C. Murray, J. D. Powers, H. C. 
Rodes, E. H. Ferguson, J. C. Van Pelt, R. W. Brown, Alvah 
L. Terry, of Louisville. 

It was the purpose of the association to secure $100,000 
for a State building and display at the Louisiana Purchase Ex- 
position. Its plan was to raise a sufficient sum to begin the erec- 
tion of a building and the collection of exhibits and to conduct 
a vigorous publicity campaign so that its appeal to the next 
General Assembly for an appropriation sufficient to complete the 
work might be supported by a strong public opinion. In this 
plan the association was entirely successful. Necessarily it was 
compelled to expend a portion of its fund in what was desig- 
nated as publicity work, though it should be stated here that 
the most valuable aid in this work was given by the press of the 
State, without cost to the association. Without exception, the 
newspapers of the State supported the undertaking. The pub- 
lic sentiment thus created was potent in securing the appropria- 
tion of $75,000 from the General Assembly of 1904, with which 
sum the association had more than realized its original purpose 
to raise $100,000, having thus secured for the State's representa- 
tion at St. Louis from private and public sources $106,441.94, 
besides the contributions of services and material that cannot 
be estimated. That the expenditure of the State's appropriation 
had to be in charge of a legally appointed Commission in no 
manner affected the fact that it was the work of the Kentucky 
Exhibit Association. The work of the association's Finance 
Committee was completed when the appropriation bill passed; 
all other work of the association was continued in the name of 
the Commission along exactly the original plans and with the 
same men in charge of all exhibits. This work is fully covered 
in connection with the report on different exhibits. It remains 
here to make acknowledgment to those whose contributions to 
the fund of the Kentucky Exhibit Association made possible a 
representation of the State at St. Louis and without whose lib- 
erality and public spirit the State could have had no share in 
the exposition. These contributors were as follows :

There was one subscription of $25 and one of $5, which 
the contributors desired printed as "cash," preferring to have 
their names omitted. The Frankfort Chair Company gave the 
chairs for the headquarters in Louisville; Heybach-Bush Com- 
pany, Mayer & Schlich and the Tinsley Engraving Company 
contributed the cost of cuts at various times ; the Home Tele- 
phone Company and the Cumberland Telephone Company did 
not charge the association for the telephones installed at head- 
quarters ; D. C. Brenner & Co. gave some rubber stamps. The 
U. S. Gypsum Company, of Chicago, decorated free of cost to 
the Commission the suite of rooms in the Kentucky Building, 
known as the Ladies' parlors. The company estimated this at 
$1,000.
